The Brit circle
26 Jan: Herald. By Ayesha Barretto (photo). I’ve run into some amazing individuals all through my life and am privileged enough to call almost all of them family, friends or both, lately I’ve found that a large chunk of the people I’ve taken to are British. Call it a coincidence or me, a lucky bugger, or whatever else you choose, but I ain’t complaining! ... My best friend Rachael is from England. Even though she is Indian by origin, she was born and brought up in the yummy land of Sunday roasts, Yorkshire puddings, crumpets and tea. Thankfully, her parents, who are now like another set of parents to me, chose to relocate to Goa, leading to my meeting and becoming best friends with Rach… 685 words. click here

Grilled Goan Chicken Cafreal: a recipe
27 Jan: Evening Standard (London). Chicken Cafreal is the stuff warm and sunny holidays are made of. Soft pieces of tender chicken encased in a marinade of fresh lightweight coriander, freshly roasted spices and a touch of fruity vinegar, this is one of those popular Goan dishes that deserves a place in every kitchen… The trick is to marinade the chicken for at least an hour so the vinegar can work its tenderising magic. In Goa, they use coconut vinegar or Toddy. It’s also called Palm Vinegar and available widely online or in your nearest Oriental supermarket. If this still sounds a bit tricky to source, use any quality fruit-based vinegar to substitute. You won’t notice the difference while you devour this and plot your next escape … click here

Same, same but it's very different ...
26 Jan: Metro (UK). By Oliver Stallwood. At first glance, Whitstable in Kent, UK, and Goa, a state in western India, don't have much in common. Even the shingled beach of Whitstable couldn't be more different to Goa's psytrance-soundtracked strips of golden sand. But for Deborah Adie they are actually very similar; enough so that it was while on holiday in Goa she was inspired to buy this holiday home in the city of Canterbury … 'I had been going to Goa with my husband for 16 years and while sitting on the beach he happened to be reading an article about a place called Whitstable,' she explains. 'We decided to take a walk on the beach and were hooked. We couldn't buy a property in India but sitting on the Whitstable groynes watching the most amazing sunsets, which you also get in Goa, I don't think there's a lot of difference - apart from the temperature.' … Whitstable is certainly more accessible than the Goan village of Anjuna… [Unable to find article online]
