I owe thanks to many people for various things ranging from information, recipes, hospitality and support. My friends all over the world are always willing to provide whatever it is I require, whenever I need it. A great big thank-you to Sri and Roger Owen, Pia Lim-Castillo and Quincy Castillo, Gina Lim, Nevin Halýcý, Aylin Tan, Filiz Hösuköğlu, Mary Işin, Pearly Ramnauth, Franka Philip, Colleen Sen and Jayant Sukhadia. Very many thanks to my agent, Charlotte Bruton, for looking after everything so well. And a huge thank-you to my husband Henk and our children Judy and Leon, whose candid opinions about my food keep me sharp. (And they hardly complained when meals contained more sweet than savoury components.)
Once again it has been a real pleasure to work with the team from Pavilion. Thanks to Becca Spry for nudging me in this direction, and to my commissioning editor Emily Preece-Morrison who has excelled herself yet again in creating a book that even surpassed my expectations. Many thanks to copy editor Kathy Steer and production manager Laura Brodie. The amazing talents of photographer Yuki Sugiura, home economist/food stylist Aya Nishimura, props stylist Wei Tang and their assistants, and the fantastic job done by book designers Georgina Hewitt and Laura Woussen created the effect you see before you.
Thank you all!
