"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.

Works great on Tooth Fairy Money
Color: purple, Color: purple
I bought this to spray money from the tooth fairy as a bit of magic fair dust. It takes a bit of time to dry and a bit does come off once dry but the pure excitement from my daughter is totally worth it! It's easy to apply and washes off my hands easily so I don't get caught. I love the bright purple color and it doesn't have that hairspray smell to it either.

Great glitter spray
Color: purple
This spray was exactly what I wanted. Not sticky at all and gave a really pretty sparkle to my skin and hair. The scent is a bit strong for me but not unpleasant and dissipated quickly. The only issue I had was the bottle clogged up within seconds after the first use, hence the 4 stars instead of 5.

just get it
Color: purple
tiny sparkles, makes a nice purple "glow" to the complexion. pump it hard so it atomizes good and warn anyone behind you. it appears to be designed to cover a fair amount of real estate , not for detail work.

Great coverage
Color: purple
I had the aerosol spray version of this and did not like it. Especially after I used it the second time and it stuck down spraying the entire container out. This one is so much easier to control and gives a lot nicer coverage. Pretty glitter for my daughter's hair and the smell is not overwhelming. Definitely recommend this.
