Robin’s Eurasian Recipes - Heritage Cookbook #5

Robin Pereira, Quentin Pereira

Summary

Growing up, Quentin and his five siblings—no matter what they were doing—were always home on Sunday for lunch and dinner. Those two meals were always cooked by their father, Robin Pereira. Robin took to cooking after his father and brother were killed in action. He did so because his mother went to work and he was left to care for his sister. The dishes he prepared were passed on to him by his mother, Charlotte, who along with her sisters catered for Eurasian weddings.The word Eurasian is a portmanteau of European and Asian. Literally, it means a person born of a European and an Asian. In Singapore, the term Eurasian is recognised officially, and the people are considered a race in and of themselves. Eurasian food is an exotic blend of East and West. It is quintessential fusion food, going back to the 16th century.As executive chef and owner of Quentin's—the Eurasian Restaurant, Quentin Pereira carries on his father's legacy, satisfying exotic cravings of epicureans from all corners of the world. This book is a collection of his dad's well-guarded secret recipes, published as an easy-to-follow, elegantly designed cookbook. 
 
Robin's Eurasian Recipes is part of Epigram Books' award-winning Heritage Cookbook series, which showcases the best of Singapore's major cuisines through authentic family recipes.

It began with one simple question: What do championship barbecuers love to cook for themselves, when there are no rules but the simple laws of physics and basic chemistry? With more than thirty years of barbecue contest experience apiece, Ardie A. Davis, professional barbecue judge and barbecue historian extraordinaire, and KC Baron of Barbeque Paul Kirk, with a slew of awards under his belt—including seven world championships—were just the guys to ask it.

America’s Best BBQ—Homestyle collects the best backyard cookout recipes from people who have gone pro. Some of the recipes are former competition winners that have earned a constant place at the family table. Others are foods that teams like to make (and share) while they tend their fires on contest day. A few are old family recipes passed down for generations. And some are even the result of ingenious experiments in the kitchen and at the grill. Most are easy. All are sure to win the hearts of friends and neighbors at your next family cookout.

Also included are tips and advice on everything from meal prep to gadgets, some basics to get you started, a few tall tales from the pits, and tons of photos of the dishes and the pitmasters who make them.

Maria R Robinson

"Introduction to Autophagy, Learn How to Get Into Autophagy for Anti-aging, Weight Loss and Naturally Heal Your Body"
Autophagy is the process where the human cells digest, recycle or replace damaged parts. Oxidative stress accumulates causing damage to quality cells and this oxidative stress leads to faster aging. As an individual gets older, oxidative stress wears down the cellular machinery and makes it less efficient. When you are regularly eating, your body has to work hard on digesting the foods which you are consuming and then doesn't have the time or energy to activate autophagy.
This book will help you know what the whole process is, and how to achieve your goals, whether it be weight loss or better health using this method. I will cover the basics of this method in this book.
