This book is a result of my passion for cooking, my travels across parts of Asia and a tribute to moms who cook for children with allergies to gluten and dairy/casein. Being a mother of a child with special needs who has been on a gluten free and dairy free diet for the past several years, I thought it would be a great idea to bring forward some of the well known as well as lesser known recipes from parts of Asia. All of the recipes in this book are tried and tested with very little substitutions made so they taste as they traditionally should. The book features recipes from parts of Asia (India, Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia). The recipes have been categorized as appetizers, main courses and desserts. The recipes are written keeping in mind that a child/person with allergies to gluten and dairy is easily included at the dinner table. Recipes featured in this book range from Vegetable Pulao to desserts like mango custard and bur bur cha cha. This book is ideal for people who love Asian food and is a handy guide for simple everyday cooking. I am hoping this book will be an asset to any kitchen where wholesome meals are cooked and eating with family and friends are celebrated.

High Stakes, Deep Faith, and Unbreakable Brotherhood They were the first No. 1 seed in NFL history to enter the playoffs as an underdog. Their star quarterback was out with a season-ending knee injury. Five-time Super Bowl champions the New England Patriots towered over them. But public opinion didn't matter to the Philadelphia Eagles. They believed in each other. The band of Christian brothers on the team believed in the God of the impossible, and they played for an audience of One. The most extensive book to explore the Christian faith shared by many of the team's players, Birds of Pray details the incredible inside story behind the Eagles' capture of the biggest prize in professional sports: the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Through exclusive interviews with the players, never-before-seen photos, and insider accounts of the miracle season's most memorable moments, Philly native and Associated Press sportswriter Rob Maaddi reveals a side of the team the world has yet to fully witness. From an impromptu baptism in the team's cold tub to weekly Bible studies and pre-game prayers, to the unique friendship between star quarterback Carson Wentz and back-up-then-MVP Nick Foles - the Eagles excel in the unexpected. Birds of Pray follows the deep faith shared among players, the high stakes they faced together, and their relentless reliance on Christ who gives all strength in moments of crisis and celebration alike. The result is a boldly inspiring, entertaining read that will challenge readers to go deeper in their faith, dream bigger, and live with renewed courage for whatever odds life stacks against them.
