"Starting with charred fried rice and ending with flaky pineapple tarts, Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan takes us along on a personal journey that most can only fantasize about--an exploration of family history and culture through a mastery of home-cooked dishes. Tan's delectable education through the landscape of Singaporean cuisine teaches us that food is the tie that binds."
--Jennifer 8. Lee, author of The Fortune Cookie Chronicles After growing up in the most food-obsessed city in the world, Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan left home and family at eighteen for America--proof of the rebelliousness of daughters born in the Year of the Tiger. But as a thirtysomething fashion writer in New York, she felt the Singaporean dishes that defined her childhood beginning to call her back. Was it too late to learn the secrets of her grandmothers' and aunties' kitchens, as well as the tumultuous family history that had kept them hidden before In her quest to recreate the dishes of her native Singapore by cooking with her family, Tan learned not only cherished recipes but long-buried stories of past generations. A Tiger in the Kitchen, which includes ten authentic recipes for Singaporean classics such as pineapple tarts and Teochew braised duck, is the charming, beautifully written story of a Chinese-Singaporean ex-pat who learns to infuse her New York lifestyle with the rich lessons of the Singaporean kitchen, ultimately reconnecting with her family and herself. Reading Group Guide available online and included in the eBook.

"Stylish and Functional Guess Wallet!"
This is a fantastic wallet that combines style and practicality! The sleek black design features the iconic Quattro G monogram print on the leather (or faux-leather). It has a contrasting stripe with the "GUESS" logo on the front, giving it a modern and sophisticated edge. Despite its slim, compact silhouette, it offers great organization. It typically includes multiple card slots, slip pockets, a clear ID window, and a full-size bill compartment, providing ample space for all your essentials while keeping a flat profile in your pocket. Many customers appreciate the durable material and the high-end look without the high-end price. It often comes in a gift box, making it an ideal present for any occasion. Overall, it's a stylish and functional accessory that reflects the brand's fashionable legacy.

Best wallet ever!
Size: One Size, Color: Black/Red
Great wallet! Super slim, holds all my cards perfectly, not that I ever have cash to put in it anyway. At this point, it’s basically a stylish card organizer that reminds me I’m broke every time I open it. Still, it looks good, feels durable, and makes me look like I have my life together, until the card gets declined.
