...effort. They're partly right; it's too bum-numbingly far on a motorbike and, at about $150 for a day trip in a four-wheel drive, getting there in comfort is pricey. For that money, though, you get a proper guide from a reputable agency like Tamarind Tours (tamarindtours.com) or Lolei Travel (asiatours.net/cambodia) . You'll need that because few guidebooks explain the history or significance of the area in detail and, contrary to what you'll be told, Phnom Kulen offers plenty to know...
...boiled some water, plopped three vacuum-sealed bags into it, let them sit for 25 min., slit open the bags and arranged the ingredients on a plate. (I admit I did saute the lobster in a bit of butter for a few seconds, but it was worth it.)

Call (66-77) 424-221 or e-mail via tamarindretreat.com...

The consumer gets to fantasize that with aids like a dollop of Jean-Georges's special tamarind paste or one of Ducasse's $275 copper saucepans, one can whip oneself and one's guests to the heights of culinary ecstasy. And for the chefs--brash, dashing and at the pinnacle of their artistic careers--their extra-kitchen activities are about creating, and extending, their brand names in an increasingly crowded marketplace.

...immunized long ago." If the "mattress mice" in Washington were pressing him to prepare an evacuation--well, he knew the situation better: "I have been right so far, which is unforgivably infuriating to the bureaucracy." Martin initially refused even to allow the precautionary felling of a huge tamarind tree that blocked helicopters from landing in the embassy courtyard. A U.S. embassy team hacked it down only around midday April 29, when the evacuation was entering its last hours...
