Yesterday was National Food Day, and we had a lovely time participating in the Boston Food Swappers‘ community-sourced potluck in Boston. I was one of the judges, and everything was just delicious. I hope the winner enjoyed our Eat Boutique gift box! Still, I couldn’t get my mind off of this Pear Liqueur made all

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.

Over the course of the next several months, we’re going to be sharing so many food gift ideas. Jill emailed me with this wonderful idea for a zucchini corn relish that lets you preserve late Summer flavors and store it away for a future meal or a great holiday gift. So gather up all the

I met Karen at a food writer dinner earlier this year and now, lucky me, we’re friends. When she offered to profile The Wicked Oyster, I jumped on the opportunity to share the Cape Cod gem with all of you. This place is wonderful, kind of like Karen’s site, Gourmet Recipes for One. Karen’s easy

A Berkshires Trip and Eat Boutique’s New Apron

While out in the Berkshires this weekend, I had a lot of time to think because, gosh, it takes nearly three hours to get out there from Boston. I thought about how Williamstown, Massachusetts – my destination and a paradise-like country nook I called home in the late 1990s – was the perfect blend of

Eat Boutique’s Summer Gift Box

Hello, summer! Hello, hot days and warm nights, grilled dinners and cocktails in the garden. Hello, picnics and lighter dishes and hammocks – a huge hello to hammocks. Hello to all the gorgeous things that represent summer. And very big hello to our summer gift box! I’ve been so excited to release a summer gift

Eat Boutique now on Gilt Taste

I was going to start this post a very different way. Here’s what I was going to post: “I am practicing the art of stopping. I go go go and now I find time to stop… Stop to pick chives in my garden Stop to eat a full breakfast Stop to enjoy the taste of

Impossible Pie: A Riff on the Classic Chess Pie

Though the northeast will forever be considered my home, I spent my high school years in the south, basically learning how to adjust. A Jersey girl through and through, I just tried to blend anyway I could. I was too busy sneaking out to dance clubs in downtown Atlanta and cussing up a storm to

Chocolate-Dipped Biscotti

I’ve always felt that biscotti are such a sophisticated thing to eat. Like, a little too sophisticated for me. Like, I’m really not sure that I’m cool enough to hang with this dessert. Biscotti, you’re so intimidating. But life is all about facing our fears and trying to be as cool as you can, so

Spring Handmade Food Gift Box

I’ve been so tardy. I’ve been late sharing a winner of the Eat Boutique spring gift box. I promise, it’s not you, it’s me. There were just so many entries! Between Twitter, Facebook and the comments on the original blog post, we had loads to count up. But count up, we did, finally… and just

Meyer Lemon Liquor

It was a tough weekend at Eat Boutique headquarters. Several of us spent Sunday cooking, eating and drinking. You know, really tough work. We bulked up on roasted lamb that had been marinating in mint, oregano, lemon and garlic over night, and a pea and spring onion risotto. I seem to recall all of us

Meyer Lemon Marmalade

I believe we’ve gone a little overboard in the Meyer lemon category as of late. Perhaps it hasn’t phased you, but it certainly has me. Still, I can’t get enough of these darling little suckers, sweet and tart at the same time, kind of like the best people I know. And I just keep ordering

Buttermilk Scones

I don’t know about you, but we are REALLY excited about the royal wedding here at Eat Boutique.  Lovers of all things British, we get especially excited about the notion of the afternoon tea and all of the lovely things that go along with it, like clotted cream, light and fluffy scones, bright jams –

{This giveaway has closed. The winner will be announced on our Facebook page on April 7!} Spring is a tough time of year in New England. While the rest of the world is treated to warmer temperatures and sprouting flower buds – or so it feels to me – New England dances between melting ice

Rhubarb Jam & Simple Syrup

by Maggie Battista

My jam making exploits are legendary in my household. I wish I could boast that the legend is due to each and every jar tasting exceptionally delicious. Some of them are pretty darn good, but some of them fail miserably. I remember a pot of bright yellow raspberries that burnt to a crisp while I

Honey & Saffron Liquor

by Maggie Battista

I’m no stranger to a good homemade cordial. J’adore the mix of instant and delayed gratification from the infusing process. Liquors generally need to stew for weeks or even months to fully form and then morph into all sorts of directions over time, but most recipes take mere minutes to come together. And I am

Meyer Lemon Liquor

I started my cordial experiments years ago with the one and only Limoncello. The boozey lemon-infused liquor was renowned in my household growing up, a favorite alongside Amaretto and Baileys. My parents always ended a fine meal with a little something sweet and powerful, and when I started sipping Limoncello 10 years ago, I knew
