Zanzibar Fishcakes with Chutney Yogurt Sauce

Posted Fri, 2005-10-21 02:28 by Nana Chen

By Ian Williamson - This recipe is from Zanzibar. As Zanzibar has been a port for many centuries, the cuisine has been influenced by many cultures. It is as difficult to say what is the food like in Zanzibar as it is to say what the food like in Europe. These fish cakes should be made with fresh tuna. Even for those who hate tuna, give these a try as I am sure you will love this dish. These are also ideal as a snack, or remove the peppers and the fish cakes make a great children's meal, as you should eat them with your fingers.

Directions Soak the bread in the milk. Chop the onion and peppers together in the bowl of a food processor. Add the fish and spices and blend to mix. Squeeze the milk out of the bread and add it and the egg to the fish mixture. Seed and finely chop the tomato and mix into the fish mixture by hand.

A Rubondo Island National Park Tanzania

Posted Sat, 2005-10-15 04:00 by virtualDavis
By Ian Williamson - Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa and the second largest in the world. The tiny island of Rubondo is only a speck in this vast lake; being twenty-six kilometers long and ten kilometers wide. Rubondo National Park consists of a main island with twelve much smaller islands and the expanse of water around them. The islands are forested, with large grass clearings on the main island. The shoreline has narrow sandy beaches reaching out from the forest-edge with some isolated stretches of papyrus.

The eastern shore of Lake Victoria is only a few kilometers from the Serengeti. The best way to get to this island is by charter plane and is a thirty minute flight from Mwanza. This island is a real paradise with the African adventure starting as the light aircraft lands on the grass airstrip, sometimes animals will have to be cleared off the runway. The island is striking in its greenness and the whistles of the African Grey parrot echoing in the forest, truly you have landed in an African paradise. There are only two vehicles on the island and one tented camp.

It seems that the world is crashing. Just in the past six months we have seen flooding in Mumbai followed by more flooding, this time in New Orleans, and in just two weeks, our television screens are again filled with desperate images of people suffering from the aftermath of Hurrican Stan in Guatemala, and now the South Asia earthquake. It is simply overwhelming and difficult to catch one's breath. However, with each disaster comes a dire need for supplies. The entire e-Margaux.com team extends our condolence towards those affected by these tragedies. We encourage you to support relief efforts in order to help the survivors and their families during the critical time ahead.

Patagonia Expert, Alberto del Castillo

It's finally up! Our new Interview Column is up! And I want to share this excitement with you. With each interview, we did a great deal of research in order to come up with the most in-depth questions possible. Our first guest was Alberto del Castillo. In November last year, I finally made it to Argentina for a reunion with friends I had met in Jaisalmer, India. While staying with them, they introduced me to Patagonia expert mountaineer, Alberto del Castillo. The 43-year-old mountaineer and a father of three is the CEO of Fitz Roy Expediciones & Patagonia Aventura SA. A native of Buenos Aires Province, Del Castillo grew up hiking on the sierra hills of Tandil and prefers steep mountains to skyscrapers.

Airlines: Doom and Gloom

Posted Tue, 2005-09-13 13:44 by virtualDavis
More doom and gloom from the airline industry today. Reuters reports that Delta is declaring bankruptcy this afternoon and Northwest may follow shortly. Delta "asked its pilots for a second round of wage and benefit cuts" in a last ditch attempt to control their mushrooming debt, and -- with a little good fortune -- they'll be offered bankruptcy protection by the courts. But the message is pretty sobering nonetheless. Scarcely a quarter goes by without a major airline entering Chapter 11.
