A Culinary Celebration of Our Global Community The THE IVSA STANDING COMITTEE ON WELLNESS PRESENTS THE VET RECIPE BOOK '20 A CULINARY CELEBRATION OF OUR GLOBAL COMMUNITY A Dedication: This IVSA Vet Recipe Book was inspired by you all, our global community. It is a celebration of our beautiful cultural diversity and a reminder of unity, as we are all becoming veterinarians and we all eat. We hope that this may deepen our understandings of one another and our cuisines, as well as help us eat healthier and live more wholesomely. - A. SCHAFF, JANUARY 2021 TABLE OF CONTENTS Dedication.....................................................................................2 Table of Contents..............................................................3 Words from the Editors............................................4 Key to the Cookbook....................................................7 Cooking Conversions....................................................8 Regional Recipes IVSA Asia.................................................................................10 IVSA MENA & Sub-Saharan Africa........................................58 IVSA Europe.........................................................................78 IVSA Americas.............................................................109 Concluding Statements......................................119 A message from the editor: Naveesha Shergill, SCoW Chair ('20-'21) Before elected the Chair of SCoW, I was one of the Project Managers assigned to kick-start the Vet Recipe Book. It started off as a collection of healthy meals easily prepared to buffer from not-so-nutritious food served at uni cafeterias. However, as time went on we decided to include ALL types of food, ranging from appetizers to desserts, from all across the world! While nutrition is vital for a healthy mind and body, we also understand that we are a diverse international community and what is a better way to celebrate our different cultures if not through food! Now, a year later, it brings me so much joy to finally say that the VRB is complete and ready to be shared. I would like to extend my utmost gratitude to Alex for putting his heart and soul into this and wanting to collaborate on the VRB, Nabeelah for her wisdom and endless support, to the MOD's Regional Representatives for tirelessly helping us promote the VRB, and last but not least, thank you to every single person who contributed to bringing the VRB to life by sending in recipes. We would not be here today without you all <3 A message from the editor: Nabeelah Rajah, MOD '20-'21 A heartfelt thank you goes out to the team who put this together. Working with you all has been only a pleasure, and has taught me that sometimes, in the places (and online meetings) we least expect, we find gratitude and joy in knowing each other. We find that given our current global climate, we need to hold on to everything that keeps us together. I am so excited to try these recipes and share my eating experiences with our members, this is definitely a food journey I'm excited to embark on! Thank you to every Member Organization (MO) for your contributions. Thank you for adding your flavour to our global family! A message from the editor: Alex Schaff, IVSA SAVMA Colorado State Rep ('20-'21): It has been an honor to develop this collection for our community. You have all exemplified how special it is to be part of IVSA. I've so much enjoyed imagining cooking these recipes with you: the fragrances, the sounds, the richness of tastes, the kindnesses shared. When covid abates, it would be a pleasure to share these meals with you. Until then, my IVSA friends and colleages, I wish you all health, happiness, and good eating as we push through this historic moment in global history. Key to the Cookbook = Vegetarian = Dairy Free = Gluten Free = Vegan C H A P T E R 1 IVSA Asia A MESSAGE FROM IVSA ASIA REP Asia is the largest continent along with great linguistic and food diversity. It has 48 countries, 66 IVSA MO's and so many different cuisines it's hard to count. There is tendency to call cuisines using the name of country, ethnic group & place in which they originated. Most of cities have their own cuisine. Thanks to Vet Recipe Book for covering the diversified food variety of our region. Best wishes! - Chakra Oli, Regional Representative of Asia '20-'21 FROM RIAZ AHMAD (IVSA PAKISTAN) CHICKEN KARAHI "IVSA’S STANDING COMMITTEE ON WELLNESS IS DEVOTED TO IMPROVING THE WELLNESS OF THE PEOPLE IN THE VETERINARY PROFESSION AND AIMS TO PROMOTE THE SELF-IMPROVEMENT OF MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH IN THE VETERINARY SOCIETY, INCLUDING VETERINARY PROFESSIONALS AND STUDENTS ALIKE.

THANK YOU IVSA SCOW FOR PROVIDING ME WITH A CHARMING PRIZE OF 25 EUROS AS A REWARD." -RIAZ AHMAD FROM RIAZ AHMAD (IVSA PAKISTAN) CHICKEN KARAHI INGREDIENTS 1 CHICKEN, CUT INTO SMALL PIECES 1/2 CUP OIL 2 TBSP GINGER GARLIC PASTE 5-6 TOAMTOES, CHOPPED 2 TSP CHILI POWDER 1.5 TSP SALT 5-6 GREEN CHILIES, SLIT IN CENTER 1 TBSP ROASTED CUMIN SEEDS, CRUSHED 1 TSP KASOORI METHI 1 TSP ALL SPICES POWDER 2 TBSP BEATEN YOGURT GREEN CORIANDER AS REQUIRED, CHOPPED Instructions 1) Heat oil in a wok and saute garlic and ginger paste in it. Add chicken and cook it for 3-4 minutes on high flame 2) Add tomatoes, chili powder and salt. Mix it and leave it covered to cook. 3) After 5 minutes, add yogurt, green chilies, cumin seeds, methi and all spices powder and green coriander. Mix it and cook on low flame until chicken is tender and all water dries up. 4) Serve hot with chapattis. FROM ARUN K (IVSA INDIA) SOUTH INDIAN SPICY CHICKEN FRY Instructions and Ingredients 1) Marinate the chicken with ginger garlic paste, red chilli powder, turmeric and salt. Leave it for 20 minutes. The longer you marinate, the better the spices blend into the chicken. I’m usually in a hurry, so I leave it for 20 minutes. You can marinate directly in the pan in which you are going to boil the chicken. 2) Heat the pan with the marinated chicken over medium heat and cook till soft and tender, if required you can sprinkle some water while cooking if the chicken doesn’t release enough moisture. Cook chicken until all the water evaporates. This takes about 10 minutes. 3) Heat oil in another large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add onions, sauté for a minute. 4) Now transfer the above chicken mixture and mix well, add curry leaves and adjust salt if needed and continue to fry. Roast for about 10 to 15 minutes till the chicken is coated well with all the spices and gets a nice golden brown texture. I can al ready feel the taste and aroma…yummy. 4) It’s time to add the garam masala, crushed pepper and green chilies, stir fry for 2 to 3 minutes and turn off the heat. Garnish with coriander and serve hot. South Indian Spicy Chicken Fry is a perfect go with Coconut milk rice and Onion Raitha or with Rasam over steamed rice or Rotis or Parathas.

Prepare a batter with consistency same as cake batter. 3) Add fruit soda and baking powder. Mix it well but do not overmix it. 4) Grease a microwave friendly pan/baking tray with oil. Add the batter. Also tap the pan on the table to avoid air bubbles. 5) Add the tray to microwave and bake for 4 minutes (high power (180 C). 6) Insert a toothpick and check if the cake is cooked properly. 7) Now for tempering, heat a pan and add 2 tablespoon of oil to it. Then add curry leaves, green chilies cut in half and mustard seeds to it. Now finally add ½ cup of water and 1 teaspoon of sugar and mix well. Then turn off the gas and add 1 teaspoon of lemon juice to it. Pour the solution over the cake and cut it into pieces. 8) Let the cake now set for 2-3 minutes. You can garnish it with grated coconut on top of it and serve it with mint coriander sauce. This recipe is very healthy having very low calorific value. It is a very good snack for vegetarians and for vegans as well. This is actually a very famous Indian dish popularly known by the name “DHOKLA”.

Demikian halnya dengan budaya kekerasan dan anarkisme sosial turut memperparah kondisi sosial budaya bangsa Indonesia. Nilai kearifan lokal yang santun, ramah, saling menghormati, arif, bijaksana, dan religius seakan terkikis dan tereduksi gaya hidup instan dan modern. Masyarakat sangat mudah tersulut emosinya, pemarah, brutal, dan kasar tanpa mampu mengendalikan diri. Fenomena itu dapat menjadi representasi melemahnya karakter bangsa yang terkenal ramah, santun, toleran, serta berbudi pekerti luhur dan mulia. Sebagai bangsa yang beradab dan bermartabat, situasi yang demikian itu jelas tidak menguntungkan bagi masa depan bangsa, khususnya dalam melahirkan generasi masa depan bangsa yang cerdas cendekia, bijak bestari, terampil, berbudi pekerti luhur, berderajat mulia, berperadaban tinggi, dan senantiasa berbakti kepada Tuhan Yang Maha Esa.

  • Cookbook, “Chop Fayner”
    INTRODUCTION Welcome to Chop Fayner, the new and revised Chop Fayn (we don’t claim to be original). As with the last edition, the profits will go to support the PC Cameroon Gender, Youth, and Cameroon committee’s endeavors. We hope to have included a wide enough range of recipes to suit most PCVs. This time around, we have tried to favor interesting recipes for non-cookers, for PCVs who live in places where there’s almost nothing to buy, and for people without ovens. If you live in a village where gas is rare and food variety rarer, you can still make tasty stuff by buying the herbs and spices listed here. If you have food and fuel available, you might want to add an interesting cookbook from the States to your Chop Fayn collection. The Silver Palate series is good, as is Mollie Katzen’s. For fat- and cholesterol-conscious people, The New American Diet Cookbook is good, basic, and contains a wide variety of recipes. We would like to thank all who contributed time and/or ideas to this project. The cover was designed by a student, Ibrahim Ahmadou, in Bertoua. Glen Torbert, thanks for allowing us to use recipes from Clueless Gourmet. Thanks to Stephen Bobenhausen for all of your fancy typing. Jen-O (Mattison), you're a life-saver for doing all that thorough editing. Comic Dr. Bunker, you are our font man. Thanks so much! Thanks again for supporting women and youth in Cameroon by buying Chop Fayner. The cookbook is an on-going project, with revisions about every two years.

  • Recipes and Cuisine of Senegal February 2013
    Recipes and Cuisine of Senegal February 2013 Cuisine The cuisine of Senegal has been influenced by nations like France, Portugal, and those of North Africa, and also by many ethnic groups, the largest being the Wolof; Islam, which first penetrated the region in the 11th century; and various European cultures, especially the French, who held the country as a colony until 1960. Immigrants have brought Senegalese restaurants to many world cities, where their popularity has been growing. Because Senegal borders the Atlantic Ocean, fish is very important. Chicken, lamb, peas, eggs, and beef are also used in Senegalese cooking, but not pork, due to the nation’s largely Muslim population. Peanuts, the primary crop, as well as couscous, white rice, sweet potatoes, lentils, black-eyed peas, and various vegetables, are also incorporated into many recipes. Meats and vegetables are typically stewed or marinated in herbs and spices, and then poured over rice or couscous, or simply eaten with bread. Popular fresh juices are made from bissap (hibiscus tea), ginger, buy (pronounced buoy - which is the fruit of the baobab tree also known as "monkey bread fruit"), mango, or other fruit or wild trees. Desserts are very rich and sweet, combining native ingredients with the extravagance and style characteristic of the French impact on Senegal’s culinary methods. They are often served with fresh fruit and are traditionally followed by coffee or tea. Read more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senegalese_cuisine Senegalese Dinner Customs Senegalese table manners can be somewhat formal. You should wait to be shown to your seat. Seating is often a matter of hierarchy.
