DOWNLOAD EBOOKMy food memories stem way back to when I was a child where traditions and family hugely influence the way I cook. My mother introduced me to the markets and farms at a young age, exposing me to the concept of paddock to plate. “Watch and learn,” mom would always say. I guess I did. Now living in Australia and travelling far and wide back to Singapore and beyond, I cook with inspiration from the best seasonal ingredients I find but always with a very strong sense of Asian flavours and more importantly, the respect for food acquired through my upbringing. Some of the best times for me have been with friends and family in my kitchen and around the dinner table. In this book, I embrace differences and disregard cultural boundaries. Having grown up in multicultural Singapore, where food is all about sharing and feasting and a way of bringing people together, I share with you the food I love to eat – from my Laksa Roast Chicken, to my Lemon Cake with Brandied Prunes, my scrumptious Chicken and Crispy Noodle Slaw, and my Mom’s Apple Pie. I hope that the recipes in this book will bring to your home as much joy as it has to mine and give you reason to cook for each and every occasion. – the Author

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSHOULD MEAT BE ON THE MENU? explores the widely held view that farm livestock are responsible for an enormous net production of new global warming gases. It asserts that, on the contrary, livestock are part of a closed atmospheric carbon cycle where the carbon they emit is equal to the carbon they take in. More than that, the book relates how livestock can play a part in reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels. Living things which incorporate carbon, and exchange carbon as part of their living processes, are related to a natural carbon cycle which occurs in the atmosphere, not the ground. Non living carbon consumers - such as power stations - source their carbon from the ground and emit it to the air. The book addresses the methane issue and moves on to introduce the idea that plants and animals, acting together, can be the facilitators of a huge drawdown of excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. In short the book contains information that every foodie, farmer and environmentalist needs to know about livestock and global warming gases.
