When not working on recipes in her kitchen, cranking up her overused commercial (yes, you read that right) oven at home, Lace can be found reading about food, writing impassioned paragraphs about food, thinking about food till the wee hours of the night, shopping for groceries as a serious sport, or gazing longingly at bakery displays.

She is the author of the award winning Three Dishes One Soup – Inside the Singapore Kitchen and just launched her second cookbook, Around the Dining Table – An Asian Inspired Modern Feast. An avid baker and home cook, her first foray into the kitchen was through baking, a passion that was uncovered during her days at Singapore Management University, where she spent her lectures voraciously scrolling through recipe sites while paying no heed to the ongoing lecture. This further fuelled her desire to create home baked treats from scratch, thus unleashing the floodgates to what would soon grow into an obsession with eating, creating, learning and writing about food. Along the way, also discovering who she is, while learning more about life, culture, and how food is intertwined with so many facets of our nature. Food is more than just mere sustenance.

Lace’s work has been featured in Wine & Dine, Female, Women’s Weekly, Sunday Times, and CNA Lifestyle, and she has collaborated with brands like SMEG and Kellogg’s.
