ON A MISSION TO PROVE INDIAN FOOD IS GOOD AND HEALTHY FOR YOU, ANJUM ANAND IS THE FACE OF BBC’S INDIAN FOOD MADE EASY, SHE MIXES THE RAITA WITH OUR ASSIF MAJID. Since 2001 Angelina has been heavily involved in United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), an organisation which aims at giving refugees shelter, protection and more importantly, dignity. Due to the nature of today’s celebrity culture, however, it could be assumed that Angelina gives her name and face to the cause, but not her time, But this could not be further from the truth; Angelina Jolie is a Goodwill Ambassador, who not only works equally alongside eld staff, but travels around the world to over 20 countries and encounters unimaginable situations head-on.
Distinguished for being one of the UK’s most successful Asian entrepreneurs, James Caan was rushed into the spotlight with the BBC’s Dragons Den. Now he plans to use his fame to promote his charity work and how he has come to re-evaluate what money is really worth. Despite balancing his day job running a business and appearing on Dragon’s Den, the multi-millionaire made some time to converse with us. Mr Caan spills the beans with our Mr Assif Majid.

It’s common knowledge that Angelina has the criteria and charisma to carry any lm to box ofce success, but its her dedication and commitment to a number of causes which make her so much more than just a pretty face.
One such event took place in 2003, in Chad, Central Africa. Here, the UNHCR aid workers, including Angelina, worked directly in battling the overwhelming needs of the hundreds of thousands of refugees. This period of confusion and conict was said to be one of the worse the organisation had ever witnessed or been involved in. 28

METHOD: Separate the 10 yolks in a container, add the sugar, grated coconut and the coconut milk, mix the ingredients together, but not too much. Grease a tin and add the mixture and bake in a preheated oven at 110ºC for 50 minutes. The secret is to turn the Quindim out of the tin neither hot nor cold, just warm.

hough only released in 2005, Britain’s best-loved hot hatch the Focus ST has been given a thorough going over with the duster for 2008, but while the exterior’s seen its share of nip/tuck, the drive train and chassis have been left virtually untouched.

Beneath its sleek new look, there lurks the same 2.5 litre, turbo-charged, ve-cylinder engine that made us fall in love with the ST to begin with. The straight ve imbues this car with a very different feel to its main rival, the Honda Civic Type-R. Where the Type-R is a high revving masochist that thrives on being thrashed, the ST is deep and forceful. Light coaxing of the throttle elicits a bassy rumble from the front and menacing pops from the rear. If you dare to pin the throttle open, you ride a seamless swell of torque that thrusts you into your seat and if you’re handy with the six-speed gearbox, you’ll reach sixty mph in less than seven seconds. All this is accompanied by a throbbing soundtrack, akin to a Lion purring at
