Over the years, through my one trip to Haiti and various visits to Haitian restaurants in the United States (especially here in Chicago, as well as New York City and Miami, like the fantastically colorful but now sadly defunct Tap Tap), I have come to greatly appreciate the cuisine that is a wonderful, soulful fusion of this country´s Indigenous Taíno roots, French colonial history, African traditions, and the creativity of a put upon but resilient people. It´s a cuisine th

Train travel on Indian railways is a journey full of excitement. These excitements are sometimes pleasant: a beautiful view through the window or a fellow uncle offering sattu paratha from his dabba. But sometimes, the journey becomes even more disappointing when you feel your stomach growling at 8 PM and realize your food in train hasn’t yet arrived .

Most travelers have heard of the U.S. Virgin Islands; some of the British Virgin Islands. Those familiar with the BVI usually know Tortola, and maybe even Virgin Gorda and Jost Van Dyke. But it seems that few have ever heard of Anegada. Which is a shame because it has so much to recommend it.

For starters, the northernmost of the BVI - a mere 15 square miles and with a population of just 450, a 45-minute ferry ride from Tortola - boasts multiple beautiful beaches with so

Hawaii is the only U.S. state which grows cacao, then processes and makes it into bars and other cocoa products. I've done my share of eating chocolates on the different islands, and I find the chocolate confections not overly sweet and with
