Conversations Around Food

Conversations Around Food delves into the untold stories behind F&B establishments, shifting the focus from what’s on the plate to the people behind it. Spanning candid conversations from 2019 to 2024, this book offers a glimpse into the lives of chefs, chef-owners, farmers, a chocolatier, a baker, and a bartender, documenting how they navigate the highs and lows of their professions.

What’s more evocative of memories than food? This publication interviews chefs and owners of food businesses in Southeast Asia. Stephanie has a way of eliciting stories from people; what drives them and the challenges they faced in their professional journeys. Her previous publication is the well-loved Self-made: Creative Lives in Southeast Asia.

This book can be purchased from Basheer Graphic Books at Bras Basah Complex and fun fact! Stephanie was one of the creatives behind The Bras Basah Radio Trail with the Literary Arts team.
