CONTENTS

FOREWORD

I am honoured to have been invited to provide this foreword. I was approached by Quentin several months ago to provide a foreword for a collection of Eurasian recipes that he was putting together for a cookbook. To facilitate this, Quentin was kind enough to provide me with a sneak peek of this book, Eurasian Heritage Cooking.

Contained in these pages is one of the most exciting collections of recipes for delectable Eurasian cooking that one can find. I have had the privilege of tasting Quentins cooking on more than one occasion and I am sure that these recipes will provide a good sampling of the talent and skill that makes Quentins The Eurasian Restaurant one of the best restaurants for Eurasian food in Singapore.

What I found particularly refreshing about this book is the richness in its representation of Eurasian culture. The cuisine of a people embodies and manifests the culture of that people, and in representing the culture of the Eurasian people in his recipes, Quentin has taken care in the introduction of the book to explain the origin of that culture and its genesis.

2011 marked the 500th year of Eurasians in the Asian region. While it is important for us to look ahead to our future, we should not underestimate our history and the significant impact that it has had in the region. In todays globalised world, the Eurasian culture and people stand out as global citizens, the origins of which started 500 years ago. A part of that culture is captured in the pages of this book.

Bon Aptit! Bom Apetite! Smakelijk Eten! Enjoy!
