Thanks to the support of all of you, Eat Boutique has morphed and grown a lot over the last year. Three thousand people have attended our Markets for small batch indie food – and if you saw me at the 2012 Holiday Market, you must have seen the pure awe in my eyes as you

If you make citrus marmalade, cordials and baked goods all season long, I hope you don’t tragically toss some of the most flavorful parts of the fruit into the trash. I used to years ago but now I save my zest and any extra juice. Just in time and quite beautifully, Jill shares several techniques

Superbowl Sunday is imminent and if your menu needs a little something crunchy and fun, these Chicken Spring Rolls from Jill will hit the spot. She even created a quick dipping sauce and a wonderful how to motion photograph to take you through each step. Thank you, Jill and Jill’s hubby, for showing us the

We’re in the midst of one of my favorite weeks of the year! The anxiety of Christmas has passed and the peaceful days leading up to the new year are just plain lovely and party-filled. Everyone seems to be in a good mood, perhaps because we’ve bid adieu to family, and my afternoons are filled

It’s December 1st and, certainly, it’s busy. We’re in the final planning moments of our second local market, a Holiday Local Market taking place next week. I’m sourcing ribbon to wrap your market food gifts, creating hang tags for those gifts, speaking to food makers about final details and even signing on some wonderful last

A few years ago, I met up with a few friends at one of the girls’ home in New Hampshire. It was a beautiful fall weekend, and we took full advantage of the gorgeous setting and great company. After a long hike in the woods, we headed to a nearby orchard to pick apples and

To further showcase the awesomeness of the food community, I wanted to share Martha’s photos of our first Eat Boutique Local Market on September 24th. The most popular question from our event was: “When will you host the next Local Market?” Well, thank you for asking! The simple posing of the question is a huge

It’s August 18th and I have yet to go to the beach this summer. I believe that’s a serious mistake because, guess what? My garden tomatoes are exploding on the vines and summer is over in about four weeks and, sadly, I can already smell Fall in the air. I love Fall, so I’m not

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

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

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
