...center of the country's restaurant scene is Sjávarkjallarinn (Seafood Cellar). Housed in the capital Reykjavík's oldest underground storeroom, which served as a stable in the late 18th century, the restaurant is known for its fusion of Asian flavors (think kaffir lime, star anise and yuzu) with fresh Icelandic fish, served within hours of being caught. The menu changes twice a month and recently included enticing entrées like a blue lingcod seasoned with red ginger, wasabi and shiso (a minty herb), and crispy salmon with soybeans, saffron and parsley. Other dishes, like...
...Allen scoured Pasir Pajang for weeks before beginning his experiments, and found himself hand chopping kilos of coriander and ginger. Some initially promising ingredients-such as kaffir lime-produced undrinkable beer. But months of trial and error paid off, and you can now sample the results at the Archipelago pub near Boat Quay.

The cheerily crass Boer, Tromp Kramer, and his wily "kaffir" partner, Mickey Zondi, were introduced in The Steam Pig, published in 1971. Their teamwork, affectionate but circumscribed, full of macho blarney and teasing but also tinged with racial irony, subtly evoked the quirky diplomacy of a society where whites insist on ruling but all parties know that cannot happen without black help...
...novel, was a flop at the box office, and a prospective sitcom for ABC, starring Oprah as a talk-show host, was scuttled after a mediocre pilot. Most of her attention is now focused on bringing to the screen projects that are close to her -- like Beloved and Kaffir Boy, an autobiography set in South Africa. "I want to do movies that are about something, that move people and leave them feeling uplifted." Though most of them involve black authors and subject matter, Oprah resists being cast as a spokeswoman for her race. "If other people perceive...
