I made a new baking discovery last weekend. As I sat inside, cozy and warm, watching the snow fall (finally!), I had the urge to whip up something delicious.  Looking through my rather bare cabinets, I briefly lamented that the season would not lend itself to a pretty tart brimming with fresh strawberries or blueberries,

When Maggie reached out last week to see if we would be interested in sampling a preserved lemon syrup from Morris Kitchen, the polite thing to do was say, YES!   I have been dying to get an opportunity to introduce Morris Kitchen to our liquor cabinet, ever since reading about their spicy ginger syrup.

Relationships are difficult. And they get only more complicated around the month of February, mais oui? My February holds two trips: a week in New York City and the start of a three-week trip to Paris. I also have a big birthday that, due to travel plans, will be spent away from my husband. Yes…

KALE is one of the most nutrient-rich leafy green you could ever eat, and we’ve been eating this super food every which way possible, all in an effort to take better care of our body and soul in 2012. When Maggie asked me to do a post on a winter salad, I knew it had

Do your meeting agendas typically include time set aside for gossip, socializing, and afternoon tea featuring espresso and clementine panna cotta? Mine don’t either, unless, of course, I’m at Eat Boutique headquarters for a full day of editorial planning. Maggie and I started these planning sessions slowly, months and months ago. Over glasses of wine

I love cookbooks. Like so many of you, I harbor hundreds of them, a trove of gems, each sparkling and shiny and waiting to be my next gleefully consumed novel. They sort of call out to me from my shelf, like a pretty vintage handbag that surprises me each time I dig it out from

Wow, it’s hard to believe that our Holiday Local Market was last month. On December 10th, more than 600 of you enjoyed handmade food samples and carefully chose from all those special items for holiday gifts.

Food trend posts are ubiquitous this time of year, oui? I’ve seen every magazine, blogger and television personality attempt to predict what 2012 will bring. Trend posts tend to tire me but I do see value in wishes. And food wishes – an expression for what we hope will happen in food – are never

French Crepes

In a lifetime of reading, I’ve found that the best books often act as time machines transports to another place and time, willing to take you there whenever and wherever you open their pages.   Samuel Chamberlain’s “Clementine in the Kitchen,” is a book that has been doing this time-travel magic for its readers for

Eating Like a Local in Sydney

It’s bitterly cold in New England, but not so much in Australia. Photographer Josephine Rozman sent along some beautiful photos that I quite sadly neglected to share last week. Let’s lose ourselves in eating like a local during the Australian holiday season and this absolutely scrumptious Lamb Roast. Thanks, Josephine! – Maggie I recently took
