There will also be a Q&Aand book-signing at the event, which will be held at Omnivore Books. Cheryl is looking forward very much to meeting manySingaporeans there.

Date and Time: Sunday, May 20, 2012 at 3:00 p.m.
Venue: Omnivore Books, San Francisco, 3885a Cesar Chavez Street, San Francisco (415.282-4712)

Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan is a New-York-based writer who has covered fashion, retail, and home design (and written the occasional food story) for the Wall Street Journal. Before that, she was the senior fashion writer for InStyle magazine and the senior arts writer for the Baltimore Sun. Born and raised in Singapore, she studied journalism at Northwestern University. Her work has appeared in the New York Times and Marie Claire, among many other publications.
A Tiger In The Kitchen: A Memoir of Food and Family published by Hyperion in 2011. By slowing down her fast-paced lifestyle to learn to prepare Tanglin Ah Ma's pineapple tarts, Auntie Khar Imm's salted vegetable and duck soup, and Auntie Khar Mo's pandan-skin moon cakes, Cheryl embarks on a study of culinary anthropology in which her family's roots are revealed along with its recipes. Cheryl pieces together her family's history, dotted by secret gambling dens, opium addictions, womanizing, and deep family schisms. And in the kitchen, Cheryl - a thirty-something longing to reconnect with herself and the flavors of her youth - learns to infuse her New York lifestyle with the rich lessons of her Singaporean heritage.
