NEW VILLAGER
New Starflix Cinema offers highbrow entertainment
Starfl ix goes beyond the average in serving
‘cinéastes’ by connecting fi lm makers with
audiences. A good example is the exclusive
screening of ‘Viva Riva!’, winner of an
MTV Movie Award for best picture. Starfl ix
fl ew in the fi lm’s producer for the sneak
preview, giving audiences a chance to
interact with the genius behind the movie.
Coming soon
‘Kenyans for Kenyan Films’ is a new
initiative by Starfl ix Cinemas that will see
the screening of groundbreaking domestic
movies as part of a programme supporting
African fi lms. This will form part of the
regularly scheduled programme that
includes French and European fi lms.
As part of its future plans, Starfl ix will
undergo a major revamp that will see
cutting-edge digital 3D systems installed
along with new seating and a wider
variety of concessions including healthy
and organic choices in conjunction with
fellow Village Market tenants such as
Revive Juice Bar.
Any fi rst-timers at Starfl ix can look
forward to fantastic fi lms, friendly faces
and fun times.
The Starfl ix Village Market
opened its doors to cinema-
goers in September 2011 as the
fi rst step in Hub Entertainment’s goal
of revitalising cinema in Kenya.
According to Starfl ix management,
the move was prompted by the level
of sophistication among domestic and
expatriate residents in surrounding
neighbourhoods and the venue’s
proximity to the diplomatic zone.
In addition to Hollywood blockbusters,
Starfl ix actively acquires and exhibits art
house and foreign language fi lms, giving
cinema enthusiasts a much richer variety
of movies to explore.

Imperial Bank opens branch at The Village Market
Imperial Bank recently opened a branch
at The Village Market – the bank’s 17th
branch – bringing its premium customer
service closer to Village Market customers.
In keeping with this tradition, the bank will
offer its Village Market customers competitive
foreign exchange rates, money transfer
services, internet and mobile banking among
other banking services.
MDG award
Imperial Bank recently won recognition for its
contribution towards reducing child mortality –
Millennium Development Goal No 4 – through
the ‘Key In Your Donation’ ATM fund-raising
campaign. This is one of eight international
development goals which all 193 United Nations
member states, and at least 23 international
organisations, have agreed to achieve by 2015.
Goal No 4 sets out to reduce the under-five child
mortality rate by two-thirds.
The award, which was presented to Imperial Bank
by the MDG Trust Fund in collaboration with the
Ministry of Planning, National Development and
Vision 2030, UNDP, the Finish Embassy and other
partners, acknowledged the bank’s creativity and
innovation in accelerating the achievement of MDG
No 4. This has been achieved through advocacy and
fund-raising using technology, media, customers,
staff and the public.
The Village Market branch of Imperial Bank is
open on weekdays from 10 am to 5 pm and on
Saturdays and Sundays from 10 am to 4 pm.

At only 33 years of age, Chef
Luca Alvarez Molteni has
opened 32 restaurants around
the world.
If you work out the maths, as we did, it
is easy to assume that Chef Luca must
have begun his career at the age of two.
Of course, that isn’t possible and neither
is it true. Yet, the good chef admits that
he was “born inside the kitchen”, tracing
his family’s history in the business four
generations back.
At the age of 16, Chef Luca left home
to begin his career in Germany. He later
progressed to France, Spain, the Caribbean,
Hong Kong and many other places until he
arrived for the first time in Kenya.
His passion for cooking translates into
an art or what he likes to define as the
“design of tastes”. While other chefs
may be satisfied with knowing how to
prepare one or two signature meals
which they are comfortable making,
Chef Luca keeps redefining himself – the
very reason that he accepted the African
culinary challenge presented by the job
offer at Tribe Hotel.
But before he could open his 32nd
restaurant, Jiko at Tribe Hotel, Chef Luca
had to study Kenya’s culinary culture for
a whole year.
“I had to start from zero,” he recounts.
“I had to experience the Kenyan menu,
see how the meals are prepared and find
out what they taste like.”

Man with a mission to make African cuisine an international favourite

is grown and livestock reared before it is
prepared and presented as a meal. While
comparing the African way with other
cultures he has interacted with in the
past, he notes:
“Unlike the Asian food culture, where
taste and aroma are key elements in the
preparation of food, Africa’s culinary
culture has been, for a long time, about
filling the belly.”
African menu
Chef Luca’s objective is to develop the
African menu, while still using local
ingredients, to ensure it is appreciated
internationally.
In this regard, the opening of Jiko came
with Chef Luca’s instructions. To achieve
his success, he took steps to ensure
that the cattle for his choice beef were
reared according to his specifications.
He also found a supplier for the organic
vegetables he uses in his meals and
another to deliver fish fresh from Lake
Victoria by 10 am each morning. Chef
Luca is so thorough in his work that he
even has a salt menu.
Away from the heat of his kitchen, Chef
Luca likes to spend his days off at home
with his wife, who is also a chef at Tribe.
“I found a home in Kenya, somewhere in
the middle of nowhere, and I really like
it,” he says of his new place. “I think I
might just stick around.”
The inspiring chef, who in his time has
headed as many as 300 cooks in one
kitchen, is quick to admit that he cannot
do what he does on his own.
“I can be the best chef in the world, but
I’m nothing without my team.”
As a book author and host of several TV
cookery shows in the past, Chef Luca’s
presence in the Kenyan hotel industry
has caused an exciting stir. His idea of
incorporating local ingredients to come
up with unique and interesting flavours
to every dish is something worth looking
forward to.
We can only hope that he will bring his
Kenyan culinary experience and art to our
living rooms, if not our libraries.

Why was all this necessary? Didn’t
he have lots of meals he could make
from his work experience in Asia and
Europe?
“Yes, but the idea behind Jiko was to
come up with an authentic Africa menu,”
says Chef Luca. “I wanted to blend
the flavours of the nation and create a
unique menu that both local and foreign
diners would appreciate.”
His year-long research proved
enlightening, as Chef Luca realised two
things that would work to his advantage.
“For one, I discovered that Kenya has
many readily available ingredients that
its people don’t know about,” he says.
“And, two, Kenya’s culinary culture is yet
to be fully developed.”
Chef Luca’s journey of discovery took
him as far as Magadi and deep into
the Karura Forest. He dined in some
of the country’s largest and smallest
restaurants, indulging in such meals as
ugali and omena. He observed for days,
and with a keen eye, how local produce
“I can be the best chef in the world, but I’m nothing without my team”

Price: Kes 1,500
Newly arrived from Ghana with his mother and elder sister, 11-year-old Harrison Opoku lives on the ninth fl oor of a block of fl ats on an inner-city housing estate. The second-best runner in the whole of Year 7, Harri races through his whole life in his personalised trainers – the Adidas stripes drawn on with marker pen – blissfully unaware of the very real threat all around him. A story of innocence and experience, hope and harsh reality, ‘Pigeon English’ is a spellbinding portrayal of a boy balancing on the edge of manhood and of the forces around him that try to shape the way he falls.
First published in 2011, the ‘Kenya Arts Diary’ taps the growing interest in art and culture by being a one-stop showcase of the best of Kenya’s art and artists in a diary format that is practical and usable. The personal diary is designed to accommodate one week per double-page spread. It is printed in colour on high-quality art paper and contains full page colour reproductions of art by Kenyan artists; a section of blank pages in which to write, draw and collect creative ideas; a directory of contacts in the Kenyan art scene; and advertisements from art galleries, companies, institutions and sponsors who support the arts. This second edition recognises East Africa’s pioneer artists, not all of whom are still active artistically but whose work has inspired and infl uenced the current artistic climate. Jewellery has been included to reveal some of the diversity of Kenyan art.

Rhodia was born to travel. Many journeys were made within her native Kenya, fi rst as a safari guide and later as an ethnographer. As a well-known jewellery designer, Rhodia has travelled all over African and Asia in her search for rare and unusual beads. A few of her journeys were simply to explore the wilder parts of the planet. A few more were ‘journeys of the soul’ and some of these were rather painful. Rhodia tries to see them all as adventures, with a few hard learning experiences thrown in for good measure. Her life has taken her round the world, quite literally from A (Afghanistan) to Z (Zanzibar). Up and down and roundabout, hers is a fascinating story.
In 2000, Rye Barcott spent part of the summer living in 10 ft by 10 ft shacks in the Kibera slum of Nairobi. He was a 20-year-old college student heading into the Marines who sought to better understand ethnic violence. Barcott listened to young people talk about how they survived amid poverty he had never imagined existed; and there he stumbled into friendship with a widowed nurse, Tabitha Atieno Festo, and a tough community organiser, Salim Mohammed. ‘It Happened on the Way to War’ is the gripping story of this unlikely trio’s journey to build a non-governmental organisation and help develop a new generation of leaders. Their organisation, Carolina For Kibera (CFK), is now a pioneer of the movement called ‘participatory development’, drawing interest from Melinda Gates, Barack Obama and other dignitaries.

‘The Good Wife’ examines the lives of legal professionals as affected by their cases and work circumstances. It certainly does not mirror the style of any other legal drama in style, timing or episode structure. It has found a well-deserved niche of its own on current high-quality television drama.
A mockumentary of a group of typical offi ce workers, where the workday consists of ego clashes, inappropriate behaviour and tedium. Michael Scott is a harmlessly deluded and ignorantly insensitive boss who cares about the welfare of his employees while trying to put his own spin on company policy. With an offi ce including the likes of various peers who have their own hang-ups, ‘The Offi ce’ (2005) takes a look at the lives of its co-workers: bored but talented salesman Jim, his mildly sociopathic, butt-kissing enemy Dwight, mildly righteous receptionist Pam and indifferent temp Ryan.

Police offi cer Rick Grimes leads a group of survivors in a world overrun by zombies.
Matt Lucas and David Walliams, the creators of this character-comedy sketch show, delight in all that is mad, bad, quirky and generally bonkers about the people and places of Britain. Based on the highly successful Radio 4 series, ‘Little Britain’ is a hilarious exploration of the British Isles and its curious inhabitants. The programme travels from the Scottish Highlands, through Wales, the tranquil English countryside and the less tranquil council estates of Britain’s inner cities, while the narrator (Tom Baker) adds his insightful and eloquent comments for those less familiar with these fair isles.

Village Beat: How did you come to deal
in groceries?
Jandu: It was totally by accident – a
decision I hadn’t thought through. I was
at the butchery at ABC Place when the
guy there mentioned that the mall had
a butchery, supermarket and offices but
no grocery store. So I jumped at the
opportunity without thinking. Made a lot
of mistakes in the beginning but finally
found my footing. Twenty years later,
here we are getting better and better.
VB: What lessons have you learnt along
the way?
Jandu: Hard work and persistence pays.
VB: Why the name Zucchini?
Jandu: I didn’t give the name much
thought, actually. I was with a friend of
mine at the time. He was reading a book
and the word happened to be in there
somewhere. So he suggested it as an
appropriate name for my new business
venture and it stuck.
VB: What makes Zucchini stand out from
other grocery stores?
and Holland, you can’t really have a fixed
routine. But I’m grateful to have the
most fantastic staff, especially the senior
management.
VB: What future plans do you have for
Zucchini?
Jandu: We want to build the brand,
set our standards even higher while
concentrating on the basics.
VB: What would you say has been your
success formula as a tenant in various
shopping malls, more so The Village Market?
Jandu: Don’t ask what the management
can do for you, ask what you can do
to improve the shopping mall. In other
words, don’t wait for the management
to divert traffic to your shop. If you’re
waiting for something to happen, you’re
going to lose eventually.

then oversee the layout and display of
the produce at ABC then move to the
other branches to check on the same.
Meanwhile, I receive and make local and

It has been two years since Zucchini
Greengrocers Ltd opened its shop at The
Village Market. Since then, the outlet has
seen a rising fl ow of loyal customers, prompting
an expansion in both space and variety.
Today, the grocery store has occupied a bigger
space right below Café Brasserie – Art Caffe, with
a detailed salad bar among its latest additions.
Zucchini’s director, Suki Jandu, calls it a movement
towards health – a desire to serve customers with
‘The Good Stuff’.
Not only does Zucchini stock the freshest fruits and
vegetables, but clients can also purchase fl owers
and fresh salads. Customers can also enjoy a glass
of fresh juice, a fruit smoothie or a cup of coffee in
a relaxing area right outside the grocery shop.
Brief history
Zucchini began in 1992 as a small retail outlet at
ABC Place on Waiyaki Way.
In 1995 the business moved to a larger, state-of-the-
art premises in the same building and continued to
expand as availability of premises allowed.
Late in 2009 the grocery store found a home at
The Village Market, much to the joy of many fruit
and vegetable lovers.
Excellence
Zucchini strives to remain at the top of the market
by providing a wide range of healthy produce
from all over the world. Among the countries
from which Zucchini imports its fresh products are
South Africa, Israel, Spain, Egypt and Holland.
Known for its excellence and quality, Zucchini
supplies major institutions, schools and hotels
with fresh farm produce. Its highly motivated staff
members are trained to select the healthiest fruit
and vegetables, making it easy for customers to

Nine wonderful ways to enhance your body and mind
Green tea helps fight the following health
conditions:
• High cholesterol levels and build-up of fat in
the walls of the arteries.
• Asthma/bronchitis – Contains a substance
which relaxes the smooth muscle supporting
the bronchial tubes.
• Breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Green tea
blocks sites that would receive estrogen, so it
stops estrogen from stimulating the growth of
these cancers.
• Cancer of the pancreas, stomach, colon and liver.
3. Red raspberryRed raspberry has been used extensively over
the centuries as a uterine and pelvic toner. It also
reduces menstrual bleeding and relaxes uterine
and intestinal walls.
The use of herbs and supplements is
becoming very popular owing to their
immense effectiveness in treating
various diseases with lesser side effects. Below
are a few of these herbs. Visit Elixir Health at
The Village Market for a wide range of herbal
and non-herbal supplements.
1 . EchinaceaEchinacea is good for the immune system and the
lymphatic system. Its immune stimulating properties
are directly involved in the destruction of bacteria,
viruses and other infectious agents as well as cancer
cells. Echinacea is also good for preventing colds,
allergies coughs, influenza and sore throat.
2. Green teaGreen tea is both a stimulant and an antioxidant.
It contains high levels of polyphenols, which are
known to have strong antioxidant, anti-cancer and
antibiotic properties.
19A Publication of The Vil lage Market // December 2011 - January 2012
4. Olive leaf extractOlive leaf extract is a natural antibiotic. It has been
used traditionally for treatment of conditions
related to bacteria, virus, candida and other
protozoan infections. It is used for candida yeast
infections, worms, herpes virus infection and
arthritis and helps keep off colds and flu.
5. Quercertin Quercertin is a bioflavonoid, a type of plant
pigment found in almost all herbs and plant
foods such as onions, red apple, blue green algae
and broccoli. Among other things, it is useful for
allergies, asthma, emphysema and hives. It slows
the production of enzymes that cause allergic
reactions and prevents the multiplication of cells
that secrete histamine, a chemical that causes
inflammation and swelling. It thus increases
the ability of the lungs to deal with dust and
particle pollution. In cancer, quercertin acts as
an antioxidant that blocks destructive structural
changes in cells, which helps to prevent abnormal
cell growth.
6. Hawthorn berry Hawthorn berry contains compounds that support
the heart and circulatory system. It dilates the
coronary blood vessels, lowers blood pressure and
cholesterol and restores heart muscle.
7. Valerian Acts as a sedative and improves circulation. It works
tremendously well in cases of anxiety, fatigue,
insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome, menstrual and
muscle cramps, nervousness and stress.
8. Pau d’arcoOne of the active compounds in pau d’arco is
called lapachol. Pau d’arco extract stimulates
the immune system to produce immune cells
that destroy bacteria and yeast. It is good for
bacterial, fungal, viral and parasitic as well as yeast
infections. It also possesses anti-cancer properties.
9. GinsengGinseng is a good general tonic that stimulates
and relaxes the nervous system and encourages
the secretion of hormones, improves stamina,
lowers blood sugar as well as cholesterol
levels and increases resistance to disease.
Used internally, ginseng is believed to be a
powerful adaptogenic aphrodisiac that will
affect any system in the body that is out of
balance. In Chinese medicine it is used to
quickly restore balance, reducing the effect
of ageing and enhancing physical, sexual and

Th ai food
The festive season comes with
a lot of giving. In fact, giving
is what makes Christmas the
cheerful and merry affair that it is.
When choosing a gift for a friend,
colleague or partner, we all strive
to be unique in our choice of an
appropriate gift. And though our
loved ones may be all too aware of
our tastes, we don’t want to come
across as predictable. Certainly not too
cheap either, but then again, we have
to watch our spending. So therein lies
the big question: what will you give
your friends and family this year?
African-inspired Christmas gifts are not
only unique but also available locally.
They range from ethnic home décor
and artistic kitchen cutlery to distinctive
jewellery and accessories. African-
inspired gifts are often affordable and,
better still, eco-friendly. Most are made
from safe, non-toxic, recyclable material.
Owing to their artistic features, African
inspired gifts often tell a story. These
interesting stories – of how the artefact
was made, who made it and why it was
made – make for good conversations
with friends and family.
The Village Market offers a variety of
shops selling African-inspired gifts,
fashion accessories and other household
items. The Friday Maasai Market is also
a great place to shop for beautiful arts
and crafts made in Kenya. From the
original to the exotic, there are gifts and
souvenirs sampled by over 350 exhibitors
whose items capture the
fl avour, creativity and
diversity of Africa.

inspired Christmas gifts
