<title>Asparagus and Fava Bean Salad</title>
<link>http://www.slowisland.ca/item_view.php?item_id=BEm9xynXJDQjp2HRoW</link>

<description><![CDATA[Serves 2

This recipe combines two of the best products of the spring season.  Make sure the asparagus you buy has tight tips as they are the freshest.  Fava beans are also known as broad beans.  Some farmers sow them in the fall, so they are one of the first legumes to reach the market in springtime. Working with fava beans is a little labour intensive, but the flavour is quite rewarding.  Choose pods that are green and firm, feeling them to make sure they have good sized beans inside.]]></description>

<title>Voodoo Shrimp, by Don Genova</title>

<description><![CDATA[I picked up this recipe in New Orleans from chef Duke LoCicero at Caf&#233; Giovanni.  He and his family are real troopers, recovering from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in record time.  The restaurant was looted, and they had to clean up $30,000 worth of food that had spoiled in the fridge and freezer due to the power outage.

Anyway, this recipe is great as an appetizer for four people, or serves two as a main course entr&#233;e, either on pasta, or with lots of crusty bread to mop up the juices.  I've given it a BC twist by using BC side-stripe shrimp, which are in season for most of the summer.  You could use any other large shrimp as a substitute.  Don't overcook them!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It's disappointing to see Darrel Wong resort to the tired tactic of shooting the messenger in dismissing concerns about fish farm impacts (Speaking for the fish farm workers, May 5 Courier-Islander). According to Wong we shouldn't listen to precautionary warnings about fish farm impacts from opposition politicians because these warnings reveal "biases." Huh?...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[BY JACK KNOX, TIMES COLONIST MAY 7, 2010

Wild salmon stocks are being wiped out by sea lice from fish farms that sit smack in the middle of their migration routes, she warns. The fragile, inter-connected ecology of the coast is in peril. Morton isn't the only one sending this message, but it's her name that has become synonymous with the cause -- and the frustration of environmentalists who feel ignored by those in power.]]></description>
