I had the good fortune of growing up in an extended family, with any numbers of surrogate mothers, unexplained aunts and uncles and cousins, and neighbors who enriched my life with a multitude of culinary gems. To them I dedicate this book; may it be embraced by future generations of Singaporeans with the same passion. - Terry Tan
