Roasted Pumpkin Pot de Creme

by Denise Woodward & Laudalino Ferreira

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

Heidi contacted me a few months ago. We met up for lunch, with cocktails of course, and the rest is history. She now photographs our gift boxes and, as a wedding photographer, knows how to capture such perfect moments in food too. I’m so happy to know her, and to have her share her family

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

Sweet Potato Gnocchi

I quickly emailed my recipe for homemade gnocchi to Jill last week, certain she could master a version made with sweet potatoes. I knew I had given the task to the right woman because after two attempts, she’s made a version of sweet potato gnocchi that looks absolutely perfect. Thanks, Jill! -Maggie This is utterly

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

Growing Garlic and a Baba Ghanoush Recipe

Just when the rest of my garden is looking fallen and dilapidated, it’s time to plant garlic for next year. Jill and I chatted about her garden last week and she offered to share an easy appetizer recipe that uses the garlic harvest and her garden eggplant. I’ve been roasting these two vegetables together constantly,

It’s officially Fall and we’re all back in the kitchen. After a New York City visit to make new food friends and attend some Wine and Food Festival events, I’m roasting the Brussels sprouts from ripe stalks in my garden. Jill is doing beautiful things with beets and apples and Shelby is making some local

Beet and Apple Salad

This is a wonderful time of year. Farmer’s markets everywhere are brimming with the vivid colors of the early Fall harvest. This Beet & Apple Salad is not only delicious and so pretty, the crisp combo of earthy sweetness from the beets and tarty sweetness from the apples is a perfect way to bid farewell

When we heard about Amy Traverso’s new apple-obsessed cookbook, Shelby and I were eager to give it a test drive. As Senior Lifestyle Editor at Yankee magazine, Amy knows New England and, lucky for all of us, she knows apples too. Amy will be signing her new book this Saturday, September 24 at our Local

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

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 White Sangria

When I first heard about Maine Distilleries earlier this year, I was mostly interested in their source for potatoes. Unusual, yes, but I noticed that they used potatoes from Fryeburg, the pretty, quiet town next to where my family owns a cottage in Western Maine. Anytime I see any of these little-known towns mentioned in

Homemade Granola

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

As an avid reader, I’m always on the look-out for some forgotten book that will completely blow me away. I always dream of finding something that I can press copies of into friend’s hands and say, “you have to read this… you’ll love it.” After someone on Twitter gushed about this book, I was compelled

Authentic Chinese Dumplings

Every time I see Jill Chen’s photos from China, and specifically her dumpling photos, I get a hunger pang deep in my belly. After a little coercion, Jill agreed to share her adventure and her favorite dumpling recipe, made by her very own Mom. I can’t wait to replicate these at home. -Maggie The whole

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
