I met Yvette van Boven in Paris, where all food folks should have their very first meeting really, right? Yvette and her photographer husband whizzed in from Amsterdam with their little dog. Heidi Murphy and I were in town for lots of projects, including our little piece on Paris and our visit to the best

Obviously, we love to try and do it all ourselves – homemade jams and cocktails and cheese and anything else delightful and small batch.  But, let’s face it, sometimes we need to ask for help.  Who better to lend a hand than local Boston-area chef Ana Sortun? We’d invite her and her lovely spice blends

A New England Clambake is so very summer: backyard (or beach!), bibs, beer and a crowd.  The traditional menu typically stars lobster (plus melted butter!), with clam chowder, mussels and clams, a hunk of corn on the cob, potatoes and maybe some coleslaw on the side.  After devouring said clambake a few weeks ago and
