Kia Ora! I’m Kehma

Originally from Malaysia and now proudly calling New Zealand home since 2008, I have spent many years sharing my passion for food, culture, and learning with the community.

My love for cooking began in childhood, growing up surrounded by the rich multicultural flavours of Southeast Asia. The authentic Malaysian recipes and cooking traditions passed down through generations have become a special part of who I am—and something I love sharing with others.

My culinary journey began in Queenstown, where I worked alongside my family and catered for more than 90 events as a private chef. Since moving to Auckland in 2018, I have continued this journey through Kehma’s Kitchen, cooking classes with Auckland Community Education, private cooking classes, and catering.

For me, Malaysian cuisine is more than just food—it is a beautiful combination of culture, tradition, family, and an incredible depth of flavours. I love meeting people, sharing stories, teaching my cooking skills, and introducing others to the wonderful flavours of Malaysia.

Cooking is my passion, and I feel incredibly grateful to continue sharing that passion with people from all walks of life.

Come join me, learn something new, and experience the authentic flavours of Malaysia!
