I wish I could offer you a tale of the perfect birthday. I was hoping to delight you by recounting an amazing celebration complete with pony rides, pointy hats, and presents. Oh man, the presents. Lots and lots and lots of presents. Of course, the party peak would be the presentation of a cake of

My favorite birthday cakes always came out of a Duncan Hines box. My mom, while an excellent cook, never really saw a reason to go beyond a mix, which was fine with us. I preferred “yellow cake” with chocolate frosting, and for years, that was definitely my go-to request.   I do remember one year,

I was one lucky kid. I grew up with a grandmother who was a darn good baker and gifted with a cake decorating tip. From year to year, whatever I was into, Strawberry Shortcake or Wonder Woman, my grandmother brought it to life on cake. For my first birthday, she made a baby lamb —

The Eat Boutique Team has wanted to showcase our favorite birthday cakes for a while. We don’t want to knock professional bakers – we totally aspire to be you! – but we think homemade cakes are pretty wonderful too. They may be messy and somewhat lop-sided, but homemade birthday cakes are what most of us

As a kid, I had a long list of foods that made me take notice and instantly salivate, luring me away from whatever game I had imagined lately. I often played “shopping” with whoever would have me, turning my parent’s house into a store where everything had a price tag and I had a huge

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

I just love a good party. And I have found, over the years, that one of the keys to hosting a good party is to give it a theme. Establishing a theme for your celebration gives yourself and your party compatriots a common mission — you’re all in it together and you know exactly what

Easter may someday usurp Thanksgiving’s reign as my favorite holiday. It’s easy and breezy, especially when the temperature hits an unheard of 70 degrees in New England and the sun manages to peer through the thin clouds, making for a gorgeous day. Thanksgiving is cold and sometimes snowy and always requires up to a week

I am going to let you in on five little secrets. First, (secret #1) it’s tough to put these words out there but I have totally over-extended myself. Sometimes, I feel like I have 10 different jobs. Eat Boutique is my passion, my heart, really. But it certainly battles for my free time, up against

A Community Lunch at Bondir Restaurant in Cambridge

For me, 2011 is about building offline communities. When the clock struck midnight on December 31 of last year, I made a pledge to   evolve all my online food conversations into real life meetings. It just seemed a bit ridiculous that I had all sorts of friends in the ether, sweet folks who have

Eat Boutique contributor Jessica Merrill is like a member of the family, literally. She just happened to marry my cousin and it was pretty much true love. With me, of course! While she was visiting for our annual Thanksgiving extravaganza last week — which included 12 people, three days, two shelves of homemade liquors and
