A hungry nostalgia for the foods of countries I grew up in was a driving force in my becoming a food writer.

Born in London to an English father and a Singaporean mother, I lived for a number of years as a child in Singapore and Italy – two places with strong, democratic food cultures where good food is both taken for granted and relished as a pleasure.

Singaporean cuisine is a vibrant, multi-faceted affair containing many diverse strands, including Chinese, Malaysian, Indian, and Nonya.
