Recipe of the Month

Jaew
Senegalese Poulet Yassa

Our Recipe of the Month is for Senegalese Poulet Yassa, a delicious dish of chicken marinated with citrus, mustard and hot peppers. It is then cooked with a copious amount of onions. Served with couscous, it is a delightful repast indeed!


CD of the Month


Okra Playground is an electro-folk band from Helsinki, Finland, that combines traditional Finnish folk music with modern instruments and soundscapes. The band is known for its unique and energetic sound, which blends together traditional elements such as the kantele (a Finnish zither) and bowed lyre with electronic beats and contemporary rhythms.
