...himself a Kenyan-born Indian, has substituted olive oil for ghee, reflecting modern health concerns. The result is a compendium of dishes that will have the home chef salivating. Prawns are slow-cooked with fenugreek, Mombasa-style; there's a decadent (but narcotic-free) dish called Opium Eggs; and pork is prepared with tamarind, chili and red wine. Conservative use of spices is another feature of the book. "We think of Indian cuisine as very hot," says Jackson, "but in fact it can be completely without 'heat' or chili." Not a book, in other words, for vindaloo fans...
...surprisingly relaxed place. Waiter Jose Santos says, “A lot of people come in here for the first time and ask a lot of questions. We try to help them out.” He personally recommends the shellfish casserole, and “anything with pork.” In keeping with the restaurant’s traditional character, the chef refuses to reveal his secrets.

Tucked away in a maze of bars by the MIT campus, this converted warehouse features the friendliest billiards in town.

...between China and North Korea, Hoeryong, which is located on the Chinese border in the north of the country, boasts a central market that teems with consumer goods: sacks of rice and corn, boxes of apples, bananas and tangerines. On wooden tables under makeshift awnings, merchants peddle not just pork and fish but also Japanese televisions and VCRs, South Korean cosmetics, fashionable sportswear from China and illegal sex videotapes from western countries. If you know whom to talk to, you can even purchase a home, an outrageous capitalist sin in a country where private property is ideological anathema...
...feathered arc of a doctorbird's tail, the spicy tang of jerked pork, the gray serenity of Blue Mountain mist. These are images and sensations from a particular place, a certain spot in the Caribbean that has been called "the Land of Wood and Water" by some and "The Land of Look Behind" by others. Columbus deemed it "the fairest island that eyes have beheld" and listed it as Yamaye in a log entry in 1493. The Indians who were the first inhabitants called it Xaymaica and other variations; Spanish invaders called the place "Santiago" but after the British took...
