The film begins with Eliza Thornberry (voiced by Lacey Chabert), aged 12, playing with a family of cheetahs in East Africa, where her parents work as roving wildlife photographers for a television nature show. Eliza has the magical ability to talk and communicate with wild animals. The cheetah mother, Akela (voiced by Alfre Woodard), has left Eliza in charge of her cubs; however, Eliza strays beyond the security of the area, and one of the cheetah cubs, Tally (voiced by Kimberly Brooks), is kidnapped by a poacher. Eliza's persistent efforts to rescue the cub lead her British grandmother Cordelia (voiced by Lynn Redgrave) (who is visiting them) to send her off to an English boarding school, because Cordelia believes that Eliza is constantly endangering herself in Africa and Eliza will be much safer in England. Eliza is unhappy because she will no longer be able to view the imminent solar eclipse and will not be able to locate Tally. Eliza's sister Debbie (voiced by Danielle Harris), a materialistic girl who dislikes Africa, is upset and envious that she is not the one being sent away to England. Darwin (voiced by Tom Kane), who is Eliza's "pet" chimpanzee smuggles himself into her luggage and travels to school with her. Rumors about Eliza's past spread through the school, but Eliza becomes more popular over time. However, Eliza quickly becomes fed up of the school and manages to persuade a stuck-up British school girl to lend her a visa in order to get out of England.

Eliza and Darwin catch an airplane back to Nairobi followed by a train back to their family's site. While on the train the duo notice an injured rhino outside the train and get off to help it. Eliza speaks with the rhino who tells her about an electric fence set to kill elephants coming through a pass. Then they are assisted by a young couple, supposedly animal conservationists, and the rhino is taken away by a ranger. A night spent with the couple reveals that the two are actually the poachers planning to kill the elephants coming through the pass on the day of the eclipse. Eliza also discovers Tally who was kidnapped. Eliza is discovered by Sloan and Bree Blackburn (voiced by Rupert Everett and Marisa Tomei) while she is sneaking around and they interrogate her about how she came to know about the fence.

Meanwhile, Debbie has been left alone by Nigel and Marianne Thornberry (voiced by Tim Curry and Jodi Carlisle) to take care of her mischievous adopted brother Donnie near their motor home. One day Debbie becomes lost in the jungle while trying to find Donnie. She comes to a friendly native village where no one speaks English. After several failed attempts to get her motorcycle out of the mud in which it is stuck, she meets a teenage boy from the village who helps her to get the motorcycle out. The village members, worried that Debbie will get killed out in the wilderness, send the teenage boy as her guide. Back at the poachers camp, Sloan is tying Eliza up in the trailer and again asks how she knows about the fence. He threatens her by saying she'll never see her family again unless she tells him. Just then, Bree opens the door and tells Sloane she hears something coming. When they go to investigate, Tally chews on the rope bounding Eliza to free her. She and Darwin get into argument to which Eliza ends by yelling at him to, for once, be quiet and Darwin's feelings are hurt. Eliza then sees Sloan grab Debbie who was the one Bree heard. Eliza rushes out of the trailer to save her, but is grabbed by Bree and held back. Eliza begs Sloane to let Debbie go, but he demands to know her source of information. Eliza says it was just a guess and let's it slip about the explosives which Sloane never mentioned. Knowing she's lying, Sloane forces Debbie over to the edge of the cliff and threatens to throw her over unless Eliza tells him the truth about how she knew about their plan. With no other way to save her sister, Eliza admits she knows about the fence because of her ability to talk to animals. A storm begins and Eliza's powers disappear. Eliza pulls Tally out of the trailer and tells Darwin to go with them. Darwin, unable to understand her, just makes monkey sounds at her. Eliza realizes her power is really gone and pulls Darwin after her. The group ends up drifting down the river on a log as the storm continues.

Later on, the storm has stopped. Eliza tells Debbie the story of how she got her powers and that she had kept them a secret all this time. Debbie asks Eliza to prove it by telling Darwin how she hates it when he leaves pizza crust lying around, but Eliza tells her she can't because her powers are now gone because she revealed them and now she can't even apologize to Darwin for their argument earlier. Debbie then realizes how much Eliza's powers meant to her and is amazed that she gave it up just to save her life.

They get to the pass, just in time for the eclipse. They find hundreds of elephants, being led to death by their matriarch, unaware of the fence. Eliza jumps onto the lead elephant, and desperately tries to tell her to stop. She uses a necklace her dad gave her before she left and hurls it at the electric fence. The fence goes off and electrocutes the necklace, and the elephants see what's going to happen. They begin to turn around but Bree and Sloane fire off another round of explosives, making the elephants charge towards it again. Then she remembers how elephant mothers tell their young how to go; she taps the elephant in a certain way, causing her to stop right in front of the fence. Everyone stops, and the elephants are saved. But Sloan swings in on a helicopter and grabs Eliza. When the elephants grab onto the helicopter to help her, Eliza falls into the river as the helicopter crashes. She is then helped out of the river by the shaman who originally gave her the power to speak to animals. He tells her that she saved the day using not her powers but her heart. As a reward he gives Eliza her powers back. She apologizes to Darwin, and the poachers are captured and arrested. They return to their trailer and explain to their parents what has been happening. Eliza tells Debbie that if she does not keep her secret she will be turned into a baboon, and upon hearing this information Debbie becomes hysterical and interrupts her father's recording session. And Tally is reunited with his mother once again.

Brown Butter Spice Cake Recipe

2011-08-08T17:08:00.002+07:00

This cardamom-kissed, brown sugar crusted, squash-battered spice cake nearly didn't happen. My oven has been on a slow, temperamental decline for months. It has always been a bit slow out of the gate, taking it's time to heat up, but generally I didn't think much of it. Fussy oven, end of story. Recently though, it has been taking the better part of an hour to get to 350F. Then, there were the times it would turn off on a whim. Poof. As if it was simply done baking for the day. And the moments when it felt compelled to belch gas. Just the sort of thing to send me into a panic. At any rate, I found myself standing in front it, promising to call the repair shop, if it would just finish up this last unassuming loaf cake without issue. And it did. And the cake was near perfect. As promised, a call was made, a part replaced, and now she hits 350F in under ten minutes.

The inspiration for this cake was a bowl of leftover roasted winter squash. I was going to make pan-fried dumpling with this squash, but at the last minute opted to make a loaf cake instead. I'd puree the squash until it was smooth and creamy, then fold it into the batter for flavor, depth, and a moist crumb. And while I call it a cake, it's not hyper sweet. It's more like a cake-like bread - in the way banana bread, or zucchini bread is cake-like.

The spices here are assertive, I didn't skimp. In turn, it might be the most wonderfully fragrant cake I've baked to date. I chose a garam masala spice blend, paired with a good amount of cinnamon, to deliver a bit of a twist as far as warming spices go. The garam masala brings the cardamom, but also a nice hit of black pepper. If you give the cake a go, let me know if you make any tweaks to the spice list. There's a lot of latitude to experiment here.

We're thinking about skipping town with the cameras at some point in the next week to visit Yosemite. I'm embarrassed to say, although I've lived within a four hour drive nearly my entire life, I've yet to visit in the winter. Thoughts, tips, things I shouldn't miss en route?

Brown Butter Spice Bread

If you want to get this in the oven more quickly, I can imagine skipping the browning of the butter, I also imagine pure coconut oil, just melted, could be a nice alternative to the brown butter. I used pureed winter squash, but ripe bananas would likely work as an alternative. Also, don't sweat it if you can't find a garam masala spice blend, you can experiment with another Indian curry or spice blend if you like, or pumpkin pie spices.

1/2 cup / 4 oz / 115g unsalted butter, plus more for the pan
1 tablespoon toasted hazelnut oil - or almond oil, or more melted butter)
1 1/2 cups / 6 oz / 170 g whole wheat pastry flour, plus more for the pan
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon garam masala
1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
1 cup / 5 oz / 140 g fine grain natural cane sugar or muscovado sugar, sifted plus another 1 1/2 tablespoons for topping
2 large eggs
1/2 cup / 4.5 oz / 130 g well-pureed roasted winter squash*
1/4 cup / 60 ml milk
1/3 cup / 1 oz / 30g lightly toasted sliced almonds

Melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat until it's brown and gives off a deliciously nutty aroma. This can take anywhere from 10 to 20 minutes. You want the butter solids nicely toasted, but not scorched. Stir in the toasted hazelnut oil. Set aside and allow to cool but not set. By doing the butter first you can complete the rest of the steps while it is cooling.
Preheat oven to 350F / 180C with a rack in the top 1/3. Butter and flour a 1-lb loaf pan, or roughly 9x5x3-inch.
Sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, garam masala, and sea salt into a large bowl. Set aside. In a smaller bowl whisk the sugar, eggs, squash, and milk. Whisk in the still melted butter, but make sure it isn't hot to the touch. Add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, and stir until just combined. Fold in most of the almonds.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of sugar and remaining almonds, and bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until the edges have browned and the center of the cake is well set. Do your best to avoid over-baking, part of the charm of this cake is its moistness, when it is baked properly. Use a cake tester if necessary.

*To make pureed winter squash: Roast large wedges or small cubes of skinned and seeded pumpkin, butternut squash, red kuri squash, etc. in a 375F / 190C until cooked and tender throughout. Puree with a hand blender until smooth.

Prep time: 25 min - Cook time: 60 min

Oatmeal Crackers Recipe

2011-08-08T17:05:00.002+07:00

Repetition has been the theme around here lately. And you'll see why in just a minute. In a nutshell, my life has been dialed into one channel - it's called the "you have a cookbook coming out" channel.
There's a lot going on, and the more unmanageable my in-box gets, the more I find myself craving moments of mindless repetition. The more mindless, the better. Roll-and-stamp cookies or crackers fit the bill nicely - like these oatmeal crackers. I've also started the process of assembling a thousand little postcard packets. I finish each one with a small piece of pink-striped tape, and I swear, I smile inside when each pack is completed. Simple pleasures.

The postcards came about as I started thinking that it would be nice to have a little something on hand to give to people who make the effort to come out to a signing, or to give to friends I bump into out and about, or to mail to all the people who helped me test recipes. The guys at the print shop up the street from my house helped me make four different postcards, each featuring a different image from the book. I ordered a box of flat glassine bakery bags, a self inking stamp, and picked up some paper tape in Japan Town.

As far as the postcards were concerned, I kept it simple - image on one side, then all-white back with a tiny super natural every day logo, and the words "stamp" and "postcard" micro-small. I wanted the bags to show a hint of the underlying image through them. Come to think of it, I wish they were a bit more transparent, but they work well enough. A semi-transparent kraft bag was another direction I was thinking about, but I had a hard time finding a good source with volume.

So, I've been making postcard packets. And at the same time, I've been thinking about crackers. I like the recipe for Oatmeal Crackers in The Great Scandinavian Baking Book by Beatrice Ojakangas. I thought I might make them as part of a lunch menu I did for an event with Little Flower School and June Taylor yesterday. I'd top them with a spread (of some sort) in place of crostini. Well - I ended up doing the crostini from Super Natural Cooking instead, but I like these crackers enough that I wanted to share them. I have some tips and tricks I've come by to make them extra good.

The concept for these crackers is straight-forward. You make a pot of oatmeal, combine it with rye & all-purpose flour and a few seasonings. Then work it all into a dough. When these crackers are at their best, they are full of toasty oat flavor, hearty and substantial. They are snappy not soft, and will keep for a week or more sealed tightly in a jar. But! To get them this way you need to roll the dough as thin as you possibly can. And then you need to bake the crackers to within an inch of their lives - dark, dark golden. Can you see how thin I've rolled the dough up above there? Work it even thinner if you can.

You can cut the crackers into whatever shapes you like. And you can either bake them bumped up next to each other, or spaced out. I make strip shapes for cheese plates and spreads, and tiny animal crackers for my nephew from the scraps

Easy Little Bread Recipe

2011-08-08T16:51:00.000+07:00

Right this second I'm eating a slice of butter-slathered homemade bread. And quite frankly, it's the least interesting looking bread you've ever set eyes on. But at this particular moment, there isn't anything on this earth that would taste better. I'm convinced of it. It reminds me of the bread my dad would sometimes bake for us as kids. A dead simple yeast bread recipe made from ingredients I can nearly guarantee you have on hand. My dad's bread was made using all-purpose white flour, whereas this bread is made with a white, wheat, rolled oat blend. I've baked it three times this week, after I came across the recipe for it in a beautiful, heartfelt cookbook by Natalie Oldfield.

I snapped a few shots of the book to give you a sense of it. Super cute, right? I love the grids of vintage family pictures, and the soft color palette of the recipe pages. Really well done. It's a collection recipes inspired by the notebooks of Dulcie May Booker, written by her granddaughter Natalie. It was published in New Zealand, then Australia and the UK. I stumbled on my copy of it the other day at Omnivore Books here in SF, although I don't think it's been published in the U.S. yet. The recipes are classic and no-fuss. The kind that can and (clearly) have been whipped up a hundred times over - scones, fruit pies, chocolate cake, lemon bars, shortbread, and a selection of savory dishes as well.

So, to all of you who embraced the soda bread recipe, yet still shy away from yeast-based recipes - you've got to try this one. You can have the dough in the pan in 5-10 minutes. It sits around for 30 minutes while I'm in the shower, then straight into the oven. Thank you Gran & Natalie. It's a beautiful book.

Dear God...

2011-08-08T01:19:00.005+07:00

Dear God,

I like criticizing people. And the jobs they do, and the decisions they make.

I like to sit by my computer and my mobile phone and send Facebook updates
and text messages as to how XYZ is not doing a good job.

One of my specialities is to take spoken lines out of context, especially from news
clippings on YouTube and sharing them as my status update.

And then call her names

And faking outrage, is just sooooo much fun, You know?

How would You know? You're up there, where nothing goes wrong.

Even though my grandma told me that You know everything

I am sure you don't know that I don't like taking responsibility.

It's my little secret, one of many.

It's not fun to take responsibility

Even terrorists don't take responsibility these days,

They don't want the 72 virgins anymore.

Responsibility is what Spiderman's grandfather wanted him to take.

And look what happened to him, he died in the next scene

My grandpa, You bless him, never told me anything like this.

So, pretty please, with a cherry on top,

Make sure that I never come to power.

I am never part of the government.

I am never a boss.

And if I ever do, I know who to blame..

Chess ace to be coached by foreign expert

2011-08-06T20:41:00.007+07:00

Le Quang Liem at Tan Son Nhat Airport

Vietnam’s number 1 chess player, Le Quang Liem, will be coached by foreign experts, a government official hasannounced.

Vietnam Chess Federation (VCF) General Secretary, Luong Trong Minh, announced the new plan during a press conference held at Tan Son Nhat Airport, on August 3.

The conference was held to welcome Liem back from the July 21-31 Super GM chess contest in Dortmund, Germany.
Considering Liem’s recent achievements, Minh said that Liem needs a high-quality foreign chess expert to help take him to new heights.

That is why the VCF and the General Department of Physical Training and Sports has decided to provide funds to hire a foreign coach for Liem.
Liem said the past few days at the competition in Dortmund helped him gain valuable experience.
“I was the fourth seed at the event and I finished second,” he said. “That result was very pleasing to me. I had some chances to win in some games but I missed them. Anyway, I don’t regret it because hardly anyone can be perfect in every move.”

How to eat well and save the planet too

2011-08-06T20:35:00.004+07:00

Eating used to be simple. If you liked it and could afford it, down the hatch it went. But the days of carefree consumption of food, are a thing of the past, especially for meat lovers.

The fact that a billion people in the world live in or close to
the edge of hunger is a sobering reminder that even basic
needs should never be taken for granted

If nonstop -- and contradictory -- pronouncements by doctors as to what you should or shouldn’t ingest don’t spoil your appetite, dire warnings about the ruinous impact of your favorite dish on the environment or the climate probably will.

The fact that a billion people in the world live in or close to the edge of hunger is also a sobering reminder that even basic needs should never be taken for granted.

So what’s a gourmand to do?

For those who enjoy the luxury of choice, help has come in the form of what may be the most wide-ranging overview so far on how different foodstuffs -- from lentils to lamb chops -- impact the environment, the fight against global warming, and the human body.

“A Meat Eater’s Guide to Climate Change and Health” is just that, a 90-page no-nonsense manual to help define a personal comfort zone between what your taste buds crave and what your conscience will allow them to experience.

Start with the rising threat of climate change, fuelled not just by gas and oil combustion but methane-belching animals and the long chain of production that brings their selected body parts to middle-class dinner tables the world over.

“Our assessment calculates the ‘cradle-to-grave’ carbon footprint of each food item based on greenhouse gas emissions generated before and after the food leaves the farm,” said Kari Hamerschlag, a senior analyst at the non-profit Environmental Working Group in Washington D.C.

The analysis, jointly conducted with the Portland, Oregon-based CleanMetrics Corporation, also includes the pesticides and fertilizers used to grow animal feed, the raising of livestock, as well as the processing, transportation and cooking that follows.

Even disposal of leftovers -- a major source of emissions and pollution, as it turns out -- are taken into account.

The same criteria are applied to various farmed fish, grains, dairy products and vegetables too.

No surprise, meat is the prime offender across almost all categories considered.

But as is true of George Orwell’s bestiary in “Animal Farm”, not all edible critters are equal, at least not when it comes to their harmful impact.

Pound-for-pound, lamb is the worst carbon polluter, generating nearly 40 kilos (86 pounds) of CO2-equivalent for every kilo (2.2 pounds) eaten. The next most carbon-intensive animal -- also a cud-chewing ruminant -- on the list is beef, with emissions of 27 kilos (60 pounds) per kilo.

Looked at another way, eating a modest 110-gramme (four-ounce) slice of braised lamb shank is the equivalent of driving a mid-sized car for 21 kilometers (13 miles). The same amount of beef works out to just over half that distance.

“If your family of four skips steak once a week, it’s like taking your car off the road for nearly three months,” Hamerschlag said.

Americans eat more meat -- exceeding Europeans by 60 percent -- than most other developed nations, with 100 kilos (220 pounds) produced each year for every man, woman and child.

But burgeoning middle-class appetites in rapidly emerging economies, led by China, are closing the gap with frightening speed, recent studies have shown.

In terms of health, the study reviews the well-known hazards of excess meat consumption, including heart disease, diabetes and obesity. It also highlights the widespread and controversial use of antibiotics for livestock and, in the United States, growth hormones.

The next culprit on the scale of climate and environmental impacts is cheese, mainly because of the large quantities of milk needed to produce it.

Pork, farm-raised salmon, chicken and turkey are all on a par when it comes to greenhouse gas emissions, but pigs -- the most widely-eaten meat in the world, with China accounting for half of global consumption -- are in a category of their own when it comes to environmental impact. Runoff from waste into fresh water sources and even the ocean are especially problematic.

As is the fact that global consumption of all meats combined has soared, from about 70 million tons in 1960 to about 300 million tons today.

Wasted food, the study found, accounts for fully a fifth of the carbon emissions linked to meat and dairy products in the US, with other rich countries not far behind.

“Reducing waste and buying only as much as you can eat is the easiest way to reduce greenhouse gases and other environmental impacts,” it said.

Inescapably, inevitably, ineluctably, the report arrives at this conclusion: vegetables are virtuous. Especially lentils.

That’s a hard truth for meat lovers. But there is advice here even for hardcore carnivores who cannot, or will not, kick the habit.

“Meat, eggs and dairy products that are certified organic, humane or grass-fed are generally the least environmentally damaging,” Hamerschlag said, with some studies pointing to health benefits too.

In the end, American nutritionist Michael Pollan’s seven-word mantra may be all the advice one needs: “Eat [real] food. Not too much. Mostly plants.”
