Pacific Garden

Eva Kosmas Flores finds inspiration in her Greek heritage and the bountiful produce of her garden in Oregon. She uses both to craft her seasonal and approachable recipes, each paired with a mouthwatering image.

Survivors of a sea battle, an American Navy pilot (Lee Marvin) and a Japanese Navy Captain Kuroda (Toshiro Mifune) find themselves alone and almost weaponless, facing each other on a pretty but harsh Pacific isle with no fresh water. Their duel to the death fades as neither has the desire to kill the other, and after a period of hostility they begin to work as a survival team. The language barrier leads to a lot of shouting and crossed signals, but eventually they start construction of a seaworthy bamboo raft.
