Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan is a New York-based food and fashion writer who is researching and writing a food memoir about learning about her family in Singapore by cooking with them. “A Tiger In The Kitchen” is scheduled to be published by Hyperion’s Voice imprint in January 2011. You can read the blog that’s accompanying her travels and research at her Web site.
She has covered fashion, retail and home design (and written the occasional food story) for the Wall Street Journal. Before that she was the senior fashion writer for In Style magazine and senior arts, entertainment and fashion writer for the Baltimore Sun. Her stories have also appeared in Marie Claire, Every Day With Rachael Ray, Family Circle, The Atlantic Food Channel, The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, The Baltimore Sun, The (Portland) Oregonian, The Topeka Capital-Journal and Elle.com.
Born and raised in Singapore, she crossed the ocean to go to Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill., after realizing that a) she wanted to be a journalist and b) if she was going to be as mouthy in her work as she was in real life, she’d better not do it in Singapore.
She’s currently spending her time shuttling between Singapore and New York while learning to cook.
The following is a list of recipes by Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan:

- Prosperity Cakes (Fatt Gou)
- Kaya (Coconut Jam)
