Kimmy

Kimmy is a keen chef, constantly trying and perfecting new recipes in the kitchen. She has gained a bit of a reputation for her baked sweets and duck confit. Daughter of the author of  Penang Heritage Food and Nonya Kitchen cookbooks, her specialities also include Malaysian food and the cuisines of the Chinese diaspora. She prefers robust red and sweet dessert wines, as well as the occasional artisianal gin – although not all at the same time! Find her on Instagram @kimmykooks

 

Mikey (a.k.a. Michael)

Hailing from California, Michael’s cooking reflects the diverse influences of the region, particularly those relating to the fruits of the sea. One of his passions is wine – he likes to pursue the obscure, the unknown, and the under-the-radar. He is a doppelmember of the Wine Century Club, having tried over 220 distinct varietals. He can even recall the defining characteristics of most of them (apart from those that were minor parts of blends.) Somehow, he has resisted multiple offers of jobs in the wine industry, probably because he has a preference for sleeping in.
