Those two meals were always cooked by their father, Robin Pereira. Robin took to cooking after his father and brother were killed in action. He did so because his mother went to work and he was left to care for his sister. The dishes he prepared were passed on to him by his mother, Charlotte, who along with her sisters catered for Eurasian weddings. The word Eurasian is a portmanteau of European and Asian. Literally, it means a person born of a European and an Asian. In Singapore, the term Eurasian is recognised officially, and the people are considered a race in and of themselves. Eurasian food is an exotic blend of East and West. It is quintessential fusion food, going back to the 16th century. As executive chef and owner of Quentin’s—the Eurasian Restaurant, Quentin Pereira carries on his father’s legacy, satisfying exotic cravings of epicureans from all corners of the world. This book is a collection of his dad’s well-guarded secret recipes, published as an easy-to-follow, elegantly designed cookbook. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eRobin’s Eurasian Recipes\u003c\/em\u003e is part of Epigram Books’ award-winning Heritage Cookbook series, which showcases the best of Singapore’s major cuisines through authentic family recipes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Quentin’s is probably one of the last few fortresses where authentic home cooked Eurasian food is still being defended from the bombardment of development.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e— \u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eDr Leslie Tay, www.ieatishootipost.sg\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“[Robin Pereira’s] attention to detail is seen in the recipes of his recently launched cookbook, \u003c\/em\u003eRobin’s Eurasian Recipes\u003cem\u003e, which come with instructions, down to the length, on how ingredients in each dish should be cut.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e— \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Straits Times\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobin Pereira\u003c\/strong\u003e was the chef at the Straits cuisine restaurant Casa Bom Vento in Joo Chiat.

Peranakan (or Nonya) cuisine combines the best of Chinese, Malay and other Asian influences to offer a unique fusion of exotic food. The food is aromatic, spicy, and herbal. Peranakan cuisine also includes a wide range of desserts that are popular in this region. Irene was born to a quintessentially Teochew family, and married into a traditional Peranakan family. Cooking wasn’t always her strong suit, and she had to enrol in cooking classes after her marriage. Then, through trial and error, swapping recipes with friends, gleaning cooking tips from neighbours and friends, and tapping on her husband’s discerning taste buds, Irene’s culinary genie emerged. As the years simmered and broiled, Irene gained confidence and started her own cooking classes. She taught at classes organised by the Social Development Unit, the Welfare Club of Tan Tock Seng Hospital and other church groups. With all these classes, she was able to fine-tune her recipes even further. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWriting a cookbook had always been on Irene’s mind, but she passed away before she could complete it.
