Cook's Corner -- Ethiopian-Style Egg Curry

Does your cholesterol level surge before or after Easter? How you dye your eggs makes the difference.

For a Moscow Antidote, Try Tallinn

Tallinn is one of the most ideal weekend getaway destinations one could wish for, just far enough away from Moscow that you feel you're getting the break you deserve.

Drama at Golden Mask

The Golden Mask festival, Russia's annual bash showcasing and honoring the nation's top accomplishments in all the performing arts, is -- no matter what -- always good for surprise, intrigue and controversy.

Dance and Song at Golden Mask

St. Petersburg dominates this year's Golden Mask festival nominations for opera and ballet and seems likely, given the strength of what it has on offer, to clobber the competition when awards are handed out April 15.

Where They Feast on Fairy Tale Fare

The closest thing to good Italian food I remember in the Pinocchio story is the ""steaming pot"" in the ""fireplace"" painted on the wall of poor old Geppetto's room.

The Mystery Man and His Moon

Generally, when its denizens talk about the local club scene, they utter certain person's names with a healthy dose of both respect and awe. I was confounded by the fact that they uttered the name of the owner of new club Luna that way, too.
