A Tiger in the Kitchen: A Memoir of Food and Family"Starting with charred fried rice and ending with flaky pineapple tarts, Cheryl Lu Lien Tan takes us along on a personal journey that most can only fantasize about an exploration of family history and culture through a mastery of home cooked dishes.

"Starting with charred fried rice and ending with flaky pineapple tarts, Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan takes us along on a personal journey that most can only fantasize about--an exploration of family history and culture through a mastery of home-cooked dishes. Tan's delectable education through the landscape of Singaporean cuisine teaches us that food is the tie that binds."
--Jennifer 8. Lee, author of The Fortune Cookie Chronicles After growing up in the most food-obsessed city in the world, Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan left home and family at eighteen for America--proof of the rebelliousness of daughters born in the Year of the Tiger. But as a thirtysomething fashion writer in New York, she felt the Singaporean dishes that defined her childhood beginning to call her back. Was it too late to learn the secrets of her grandmothers' and aunties' kitchens, as well as the tumultuous family history that had kept them hidden before In her quest to recreate the dishes of her native Singapore by cooking with her family, Tan learned not only cherished recipes but long-buried stories of past generations. A Tiger in the Kitchen, which includes ten authentic recipes for Singaporean classics such as pineapple tarts and Teochew braised duck, is the charming, beautifully written story of a Chinese-Singaporean ex-pat who learns to infuse her New York lifestyle with the rich lessons of the Singaporean kitchen, ultimately reconnecting with her family and herself. Reading Group Guide available online and included in the eBook.

Luxurious feel
Color: Light Brown, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
This blanket is soft and fuzzy. It has a little weight to it so it’s great to snuggle up on the couch with. Double lined makes it feeling luxurious. Haven’t noticed any shedding yet I’ve had it for a month and have washed it a couple times.

amazinggg!!
Color: Light Brown, Size: Throw (50" X 60"), Color: Light Brown, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
i loveee this blanket. after opening and breaking the air seal i threw it in the dryer for 20 minutes to fluff it up and it's perfect. it's very thick and slightly weighted (3-5 lbs) and super duper stretchy. it's double sided so you can use it facing any way you want. i've never tried either brands but from everything i've seen, this is pretty much an exact duplicate to the lola brand and comfrt brand blankets. i do wish they made more size and color options but other than that i'm obsessed. (for size comparison reference, i have a queen bed!)

Incredibly soft!
Color: Cream, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
I absolutely love this Bedsure blanket! It is incredibly soft right out of the package and feels cozy without being too heavy. The fabric is plush and smooth, making it perfect for lounging on the couch, layering on the bed, or staying warm during chilly nights.

Love this blanket!!!
Color: Cream, Size: Throw (50" X 60")
I absolutely LOVE this blanket!! It is an exact dupe for the “Lola” blanket. One of my friends has one and it feels the same and at just a fraction of the cost! It’s so soft and stretchy. It has such a nice weight to it and is the perfect size. I have already ordered 3 more for gifts this Christmas. I’m surprised this isn’t sold out!
