Mauritius and Its Environment
This web site is dedicated to the study of the environment and its manifold interactions with human society. The purpose of this site is also to make available information and analysis which are sometimes difficult to find elsewhere and to offer views on Mauritius that, at times, run counter to the prevailing ideas and general consensus. Although this site is mainly in English certain sections are in French, a consequence of the bilingualism of Mauritius.
The Rotary Club of Mauritius
Rotary clubs have two main roles. They are associations of professional and business leaders in their fields, who meet once a week for fellowship and to share their expertise and the benefits they enjoy with future professionals and less fortunate people.
As Rotary grew, its mission expanded beyond serving professional and social interests, Rotarians began pooling their resources and contributing their talents to help needy communities. The organisation's dedication is best expressed in its principal motto, "Service above Self".

Cuisine, Cooking and Recipes from Mauritius by Madeleine Philippe
The eating habits of the Mauritians inevitably reflect the ethnic diversity of its people: Creole rougailles, Indian curries, Muslim bryanis, Chinese sweet-and-sour pork, French delicate dishes, English bacon and eggs.
Basic ingredients of the Creole cuisine are the tomatoes (known as pommes d'amour), onions, ginger, garlic and chillies. Palm heart and Camarons (giant prawns), venison and wild boar are favourite items of French cuisine. Fresh fish and seafood set the keynote for Chinese cooking.
