It's impossible to pinpoint a certain specific cuisine to one region, so when people ask me what type of food is Singaporean, I simply reply with 'the delicious type'. Southeast Asian cuisine is a proud mix of migrants and influences from all across Asia, which fuses together to create something even greater than the original.'brbrMeaning 'to eat' or 'dinner time' in Malay, in iMakani, rising star Elizabeth Haigh draws together recipes that have been handed down through many generations of her family, from Nonya to Nonya, creating a time-capsule of a cuisine. Growing up, it was through food that Elizabeth's mum donstrated her affection, and the passion and love poured into each recipe is all collated here; a love letter to family cooking and traditions.brbrRecipes include:brNonya-spiced braised duck stewbrpickled watermelon and radish saladbrbeef rendangbrSingapore chilli crabbrfried tofu with spicy peanut sauce brspicy noodle soupbrnasi goreng (spicy fried rice)brMiso apple piebr' and many more!brbrAdapting these traditional recipes to ensure ingredients are easily sourced in the West, Elizabeth brings a taste of Singapore to your own kitchen.
