Dreaming of Antigua

A girl can dream, right? Antigua gets its first Aveda Spa when Sugar Ridge, a new 60-room boutique resort opens this December. The resort will have two restaurants, a hillside location with magnificent views of the Caribbean, two swimming pools, free wi fi and a fitness center. Wouldn't a trip there be better than eating another stale sugar cooking? www.sugarridgeantigua.com

pick of the week

I adore Greek food, but haven't cooked much of it at home until I tried products from Gaea, which offers a full array of Mediterranean items, including cooking sauces, tapenades, olive oils and nine varieties of olives. The company was founded in 1995 to offer the finest ingredients for Greek cuisine, and in that time has won dozens of international awards. Even if you're not much of a cook, treat yourself to their delicious olive oil with a slice of fresh bread. Gaea products are at Whole Foods, Vons, Shows, Albertsons and other big and specialty retailers, and can also be purchased online at www.gaea.gr
