Review & Recommendations:

"This is a timeless collection of Peranakan recipes by Mrs Lee Chin Koon, published in 1974. Today, re-written by Shermay Lee, granddaughter of the late Mrs Lee (1907-1980), she has tried to recapture her grandmother's recipes into two fully illustrated cookbooks. The New Mrs Lee's Cookbook: Nonya Cuisine features the secrets of Peranakan cuisine and nonya kitchen. The second volume features a delightful mix of Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian recipes, and also includes anecdotes explaining their origins."

"Preparation is immensely complex and time-consuming, requiring the mastery of difficult techniques. “We had to learn to pound our rempah [spice mix] to just the right texture … to combine and measure our spices so that they would harmonize, and … to fry our dishes so that the gravies would be clear and bright,” noted the late Lee Chin Koon, doyenne of Peranakan cuisine, in the introduction to Mrs. Lee’s Cookbook. As a result, the dishes were deemed too complicated for restaurant cooking and for years were only available in Peranakan homes. Today, however, in response to modern lifestyles that no longer permit hours of kitchen preparation, Singapore boasts several very authentic Peranakan restaurants. "
