This cookbook focuses on how heritage food forms an indelible link between one's sense of history and one's sense of family. Through vivid life stories of 30 prominent personalities who have, in different ways, made significant contributions to Singapore and 59 heritage recipes shared by them, Heritage Feasts highlights that, by learning and passing on your own family's treasured dishes, you too are helping to strengthen and extend the fine threads of history and family.

Heritage Feasts also encourages the modern family to create new shared moments and continue traditions of familial feasting around the dinner table. In this book you will find an invaluable collection of true-blue Singaporean dishes, all beautifully illustrated with sumptuous pictures by award-winning photographer Edmond Ho. These include a family favourite from acclaimed jazz singer Claressa Monteiro - the oxtail soup by her mother, the dry mutton curry which Subhas Anandan's mother whipped up for the renowned criminal lawyer's long-awaited homecoming, a rare recipe for sambal buah keluak, taken from the notebooks of Mrs Seow Poh Leng, the original inspiration behind playwright Stella Kon's acclaimed monodrama Emily of Emerald Hill, and a comforting tomato soup which filmmaker Eric Khoo enjoyed as a child.

A meaningful cookbook project commissioned in celebration of Miele's 11th anniversary, Heritage Feasts is the work of industry veterans - including food magazine editor Josephine Tully, local food expert Christopher Tan and top lensmen Edmond Ho and Mervin Chua - and is a rare platform for the promotion of Singapore culinary traditions.
