My Little CookBook: When Culture Meets Snacks

Are you an educator looking for resources to teach Chinese culture in your classroom? Why not start with something which everyone likes, such as food!

Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre presents My Little CookBook, an e-book that focuses on three snacks eaten during Chinese festivals. Each snack includes a write-up about its origins, a fun fact and step-by-step baking instructions with accompanying illustrations.

This e-book will teach your little ones about Chinese festivals and their beloved snacks, complete with simple recipes to re-create with your children. At the same time, you can also teach them how these Chinese festivals pass down family values like love, kindness, and filial piety! These step-by-step recipes use simple and affordable ingredients which can be found in most household kitchens.

The Nine Emperor Gods Festival in Singapore: Heritage, Culture, and Community

The Nine Emperor Gods Festival in Singapore: Heritage, Culture, and Community is a comprehensive, two-volume work partly funded by the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre’s Publication Grant.

Each picture book contains a lesson plan for preschool and primary school students and hopes to inspire the younger generation to take an interest in our distinctive local culture.
