Bourbon Banana Bread Pudding

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,

French Crepes from Clementine in the Kitchen

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 over

Cranberry Ginger Scones

It is early Christmas morning…… The snow is softly falling and covering the last remains of the reindeer’s paw prints, as I walk up the pathway to your home.  I can smell fresh roasted coffee brewing, as I reach for the front door.  I give a gentle tap-tap-tap, and you greet me with a warm

I delight in AJ’s lovely blog Handjobs for the Home, and we’ve been chit-chatting about working together for a while. Lucky for us, AJ has a family toffee recipe that should be on your cookie swap rotation. Please give a warm welcome to AJ! -Maggie The cold weather is rushing into New York like a

The holidays are a time for caring as well as sharing.  At Eat Boutique, I feel that each of us takes that extra step when sharing.  This holiday season we are sharing a virtual “sweet” exchange with all of you.  I tossed around the idea of cookies, but, then decided to make something I really

Holiday baking season has officially begun and we’re excited to share so many handmade food gifts over the next several weeks. The Eat Boutique team has put together a lovely line up of blog posts, including several great cocktails we’ll share later in the month. First up, these ginger bars are a delicious and different

Shelby’s assignment was tough: Make a glorious recipe from Judy Rosenberg’s new cookbook and share it with us. It’s a tough job but she did it well. And we’re offering a giveaway of this very book down below, so read further for details. Thanks! -Maggie When you think of holiday baking, your mind likely veers

Roasted Pumpkin Pot de Creme

Pot de Creme is simply a little pot of creme that is served in a lidded cup.  Or as we like to call it, a little pot of heaven.  This recipe is so delicious, that we made it two weekends in a row.  Pretty self-indulgent, but worth every creamy bite. We picked up two sugar

Eat Boutique Fall Gift Boxes

Oh my, when did Fall show up? Believe me, I love Fall more than a big bowl of spaghetti carbonara from Sportello Boston (which is suddenly off the menu, what’s up with that?!) but one day it was 85 degrees and today it’s cold and rainy and crimson leaves dot the path to the garden.

Chamomile Tea Pops

This time of year is always hard. Vacations are ending. Neighborhood pools are closing. And, of course, dust off your Trapper Keeper because it’s time to go back to school. I do a lot of snacking to self-soothe. When you’re a regular snacker, you have to mix it up a little bit. Sleeping at the

Blueberry Bread Pudding Recipe

I’ve got a thing for Maine blueberries. I know I’m not the only one. All year long, I try hard to avoid the berries that show up suspiciously at the market out of season. By the time June hits, I sometimes can’t help myself and will buy a few pints of cultivated blueberries from New

Hibiscus Lime Shave Ice Recipe

I have a theory that extreme temperatures turn adults into children. It doesn’t matter which end of the thermostat we’re talking about, I have seen severe weather turn even the most straight laced, uptight adult into a swooning child. Let’s examine this hypothesis further. Take snow storms for example. Yes it’s a pain to shovel

Mango Citrus Bars Recipe

Lemon Bars were a lunchbox staple in my childhood household. So sweet and tart, simple and easy to prepare – it’s hard to resist a lemon bar, in my humble opinion. When I was in high school, I would make the bars myself from a boxed mix (I know, I know, but I was a

Classic Ice Cream Sandwich

As a kid, one of my all-time favorite summer treats was the classic ice cream sandwich. Remember the ones that came out of a bell-ringing tricycle cart? The jingle-ling from the Good Humour or Dickie Dee guy sent us all running home begging for change. Because July is National Ice Cream month, and because it’s

Summer Pavlova

Sometimes, Jill Chen is totally in my head. While she makes dandelion wine, I think about making rhubarb wine. When I make a honey and saffron cordial, Jill would gladly side up to the bar for a sniff or a taste or two. Sometimes on the very same night, we’ll both dream about making ice

Panna Cotta & Strawberry Jam

As I type this, stars are blazing overhead in a thick dark sky, unlike any stars I see in the city, and I hear absolutely nothing drifting in through the open windows. I whizzed up to Vermont for a quick weekend away and I’m grateful for the silence after what’s been a very busy few
