“As much as it celebrates regional produce, this book hopes to be a young Singaporean's love song to the markets. In the course of writing this book, the market's beauty has grown on me. When I fumble with coins in my purse, the vegetable uncle always tells me that I can pay the next time. I learn cooking tips and recipes not only from the vendors, but also from fellow patrons - shopping at the wet markets is an interactive, immersive experience. I do not think I will ever tire of walking through markets, admiring the way the produce spills over baskets and cartons, relishing the way everything feels so organic, so raw and so real.” CookingSingaporeMarketGrocery ShoppingWet MarketAsian Market Book:Wet Market to Table: A Modern Approach to Fruit and Vegetables Source: Wet Market to Table: A Modern Approach to Fruit and Vegetables
“I wanted to show young Singaporeans how these old-school ingredients, familiar to my mother and grandmother, can be jumping-off points for modern and exciting dishes. I write this book with a sense of urgency as these ingredients are fading from our markets, making room for air-flown tomatoes-on-vine, tomatillos or radicchio, as there is simply no demand.” Wet MarketAsian IngredientsAsian ProduceAsian Vegetables Book:Wet Market to Table: A Modern Approach to Fruit and Vegetables Source: Wet Market to Table: A Modern Approach to Fruit and Vegetables
