...stylish restaurant has become a favorite among the city's affluent diners, who visit for the oxtail-and-marrow risotto, the yellowfin tuna enveloped in white radish or the prawn salsa that spices up the chilled soups. Unhappily though, demand for the rooms has been slack. Even though bombings and sporadic outbreaks of fighting between the Sri Lankan army and the Tamil Tigers rarely affect tourists directly, they have understandably dampened tourism, forcing Fernando to offer his 10 suites at discounted prices, beginning at $200 per night. But he is optimistic that peace will eventually come, and the guests soon...
...commuter trains rumble outside the window of Shinobu's crowded kitchen, we prepare tuna sushi cake, tofu, a carrot and radish soup and a vinaigrette salad. As we sit on the tatami mat, sipping plum wine and eating from each bowl in turn, the kimono-clad 60-year-old explains what makes a proper Japanese meal.

Waters, 61, talked with TIME's BARBARA ISENBERG about why consuming and appreciating natural foods is so important...
...eating a bowl of smoky watermelon soup is a spoonful of frozen Dijon mustard powder that, as one of the lab-coat-donned waiters puts it, "really opens up your taste buds." Corkscrew flatware stuffed with lavender and bruleed garlic enhances the olfactory experience of eating scallops and daikon radish in a Brazil-nut puree. Dining chatter revolves around how they are going to serve, let alone create, dishes like "12-year Gouda ice cream with balsamic vinegar." Moto, a whiplash blend of science and art, will captivate some and annoy others. Most dishes triumph (especially the fish courses), while...
...Radish split in 1998, and Kweller has recovered admirably. He is now on his second solo album, On My Way, which happens to be his first as a legal, beer-drinking adult. On My Way has some impressive moments, largely because it seems to care so little about being impressive. It feels like a bunch of songs Kweller put together casually and recorded impeccably...
