Best of the bunch, though, is celeb chef Bobby Flay's Boy Gets Grill. The book showcases international flavors with dishes like a sweet-and-sour brick-grilled baby squid that features a tamarind-mint dressing with Middle Eastern and Indian spices. Simple, user-friendly instructions make for easy preparation of an Asian-and Caribbean-influenced grilled chicken with toasted chilies, coconut milk, lime and crushed peanuts. There are also recipes for Peking duck and pizzas--all cooked over the coals. Even the all-American burger gets a global makeover with a pressed, Cuban-style rendition, Flay's fusion...
Nutritionist Marion Nestle stares in wonder at the latest bit of marketing wizardry to hit American sweetshops: sour green tamarind-flavored Shrek candies. She pops off the Shrek-shaped cap on a Crazy Hair confection and, after some initial befuddlement (of a kind no one under 12 would suffer), turns a dial on the bottom of the plastic tube.

It's the best deal in Colombo...

"Everyone has their own family recipe for horchata," says food developer Vida Leong. "We mixed and blended for weeks until we matched what we considered the gold standard." So far, their efforts are paying off. The three aguas frescas have been doing well in California and Arizona and will roll out around the country in the months to come...
