Mrs Lee’s Cookbook by Lee Chin Koon distills three generations of Peranakan family tradition into a practical, step-by-step guide to Asian cuisine. First printed in 1980, this vintage hardcover has become a cult favourite among cooks hunting for authentic laksa, ayam buah keluak and kueh recipes.

The book’s charm lies in its no-frills approach: every dish is road-tested for the modern kitchen while keeping the flavours Mrs Lee served at home. Young adults and seasoned food lovers alike value its clear instructions and insider tips on sourcing Asian ingredients.

This copy shows gentle shelf life: the dust jacket carries light fading and scuffs, a few page edges have minor marks, and the protective rice-paper overlay is creased, yet the text block is tight and free of notes. Overall it remains a sturdy, usable edition ready for daily kitchen duty.

Collectors of vintage cookbooks and fans of Southeast Asian food will appreciate both the rarity and the lived-in character of Mrs Lee’s classic.
