I’m sure that one of the stories that we feature this month
will find resonance among many of you. It sure did in the
BHG office, as I find Pm signing a leave application for
creative director Ragini Singh, as an all-girls trip she has been
planning for a while is taking shape later this month. It’s the
new big trend in travel these days— the girlie holiday. We
zero in on how shopping, adventure, beach holidays and just
an old-fashioned sightseeing tourist trip are all themes for
women to take off on their own with friends, minus husbands
and kids. Turn to page 41 to find out how this can actually be
great for your relationship, family life and even your health!
Last month, I ate at an exceptional Mexican restaurant,
Margaritas, in the middle of the night market in Hua Hin in
Thailand. Two enterprising cousins moved to this seaside
resort town post the recession in the US and are running
arguably the best Mexican eatery in the town (the N0.1 listing
on TripAdvisor certainly seems to suggest so). There’s a lot
you can do with this versatile cuisine in your own kitchen and
cookbook author and teacher Joanne Weir gives you her twist
on the traditional on page 123. Enjoy experimenting, and the
issue, of course!
