Limonade Tous les Jours

Some of the production elements in the Zachary Scott Theatre Center's staging of Limonade Tous les Jours may be sour, but with Charles Mee's adorably written script, adorably acted here, the show takes lemons and makes champagne: an effervescent, intoxicating evening.

Worlds of Flavor

As a food writer with a special passion for the foods of Southeast Asia, I was excited about the 2000 Worlds of Flavor International Conference and Festival, Mick Vann writes. My pulse quickened and I salivated uncontrollably every time the possibility of attending crossed my mind. I would love to go, but my financial picture was in its usual bleak and blurry mode. Then came the call from my editor. I had gotten a surprise, last-minute press pass.

"...Then it was off to the first of many feasts of such proportion as to test the very boundaries..."

Tandoori Junkie

Over the years Austin has absorbed (and discarded) several new Indian restaurants, most in the mode of the classic Americanized Indian dining establishment. But within the past few years, we have been fortunate enough to attract a new class of Indian restaurants. Mick Vann has compiled a guide to them.

"...Austin. Dining Indian can be an adventurous festival of feasts, and as in most cases (especially when it comes..."

The High Life

Too-often regarded as dull compilations of dusty facts, biographies are rarely bestsellers, Amanda Eyre Ward writes.

While it's obvious that hours of work making stocks, sauces, marinades, and custards go into the production of every meal at Siena, the end result is an array of hearty and robust peasant dishes elegant in their simplicity and true to their heritage.
