Author Description

In 2012, noticing a growing foodie culture in Singapore, The Straits Times Lifestyle team decided to kickstart a new column to serve as a guide to the booming range of foodstuff, as well as the finer points of prepping and storing ingredients would be useful for readers. Since then, food consultant and author Chris Tan has written some 140 Cheat Sheets for The Straits Times. This book, Cheat Sheet: How To Navigate The Food World Like A Pro, compiles 60 of the best columns. Covering everything from pantry staples such as salt and eggs, beverages like milk and wine, to kitchen equipment like thermometers and whisks, each Cheat Sheet offers bite-sized pieces of information about everything you may find in your kitchen larder.
