Most of us daydream about whisking away to Tuscany to soak up the sun on a gloriously lazy day, feasting on freshly pressed olive oil.  For Amy, a certain Tuscan dream has been realized, but to get her own fresh olive oil, she did the hard work of harvesting the olives. Let Amy’s story inspire

Let it be known: We are big fans of the state of Vermont here at Eat Boutique. It’s not that much of a stretch, of course – many of us are New Englanders, or New Englanders at heart, and we love the entire region. But there is just something about Vermont and I was ecstatic

Good luck to the soul who stands between a California Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel and me. Seriously, get out of my way. I like wine and, especially, red wine. When I’m in northern California, I can drink a fancy red bottle or take my jug to the local vineyard to fill up on solid house

Last week, I followed one of my favorite chefs to the country. Chef Jason Bond of Bondir restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts, launched the Whim dinner series at Smolak Farms, a weekly Wednesday night event that places amazing urban chefs in the bucolic setting of a remote country farm. Imagine green garden soup with fresh summer

People are often surprised when I tell them that I’m not from around here. I think many people assume I am from Maine, probably because I could wax poetic about the Pine Tree state for hours. I don’t mind if people think I’m from Maine, or the Boston area, because I have grown to love

While Eat Boutique is not necessarily a site where we discuss the politics of food, this subject matters to any one who cares about what they eat, where that food comes from, and the people that produce that food. In that vein, we thought you all might be interested in learning more about a new

Farm Fashion

You’re probably wondering whether the words farm and fashion belong in the same sentence. I considered the two words to be akin to the relationship between oil and water; never, no matter what you do, shall the two mesh. Well, let me tell you that I maintained that point of view until I ran into

Outstanding in the Field

This is a story of a long table draped in white, lined with perfectly placed wooden seats, standing in the middle of a field, waiting for the guests to dine beneath flickering swallows’ tails, along-side butterflies and trailing bean vines. Outstanding in the Field began in 1999, in Santa Cruz, California, when a man named

New England Winter Farmer’s Market

I miss Summer. I know I’m not the only one. But while others miss the beach and icy margaritas, I miss visiting the farmers’ market each week. Last year was the first time I signed up for a community-supported agriculture (CSA) program and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Each Monday,

Today, while reading about Michael Pollan’s new book, Food Rules: An Eater’s Manual, I found myself nodding “yes,” in agreement with his message, which he succinctly summarized in In Defense of Food: “Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” Pollan is preaching to the choir with me, but I did still order the new book

Photos by Paul Cary Goldberg One of my favorite things about winter is getting to see more of my farmer friends (and farmer husband). As the fields are put to bed for the winter, there is more time to plan for the future, see friends and family, and create delicious meals. This week, I invited
