On
28 November, as part of the official program of the Macau
Encontro 2007, Yvonne De Menezes Bayot Husband from Casa
Australia participated in the special induction ceremony
dedicated to establishing the Social Boards of the Confraria
Da Gastronomia Macaense (CGM).
Yvonne was formally sworn in as a "Correspondent
Member" of the fraternity whose main aims include
the preservation of the recipes of the Macanese people,
and to promote Macanese food and cooking in general.
Call for Contributions
Towards
fulfilling the charter of the CGM, our Correspondent Member
Yvonne Husband is planning to promote and preserve Macanese
food here in Australia, by putting together a 'Casa de
Macau Australia Cookbook'.
Many
of our ancestors were marvellous cooks and appreciated
good food, but their recipes were often treasured and
guarded - and as such many recipes have been lost as the
generations have passed on.
So please, don't let your family recipes 'die'. Take action
today to preserve your family legacy by sending us your
Macanese recipes - and be part of our 'historic' Casa
de Macau Australia Cookbook.
Simply
send us your recipes by ensuring that you:
1.
List the recipe and the cooking instructions (in either
Portuguese or English)
2. Attach your contact details (name, address, phone
and email)
3. Include the name of the "Family" that the
recipe originated from
Please
send those recipes to:
Yvonne De Menezes Bayot Husband

RANDWICK NSW 2031
