Lace Zhang is the author of the award-winning Three Dishes One Soup – Inside the Singapore Kitchen. She was first led into the kitchen by a passion for baking, which she discovered during her days at Singapore Management University. This opened the floodgates to what would become a lifelong obsession with eating, cooking, and writing and learning about food. When Lace is not in the kitchen working on recipes, cranking up her overused commercial oven at home (yes, you read that right), she can be found reading about food, writing love letters to food, shopping for groceries or gazing lovingly at the displays in bakeries. Her work has been featured in Wine & Dine, Female, Women's Weekly and The Sunday Times. For more recipes, ideas and food-related news, follow her at www.instagram.com/aroundthediningtable
