Pickled tomatoes sound simple but getting them right, both herbal and restrained, is hard work. You can do the job once tomatoes come into full bloom later this summer. Until then, we’re popping these dilly green pear tomatoes in between meals and into our gin and vodka martinis. Heidi snapped delicious photos of Froehlichs Pear

Believe me, the luck of my life is not lost on me. I started Eat Boutique as a blog in 2007 – which is like, a lifetime ago – and here we are, six and a half years later, recapping a wine festival in one of the most beautiful places on this planet, Martha’s Vineyard.

I just got back from four mostly sunny days in Martha’s Vineyard. I was invited to cover the first Martha’s Vineyard Wine Festival. I tasted about 100 new and favorite wines – and have the hangover to prove it – and mostly flip-flopped my way through the tasting events and private dinners because it is

April showers have done exactly what they should: They have finally given us May flowers. We’ve had 6-7 days of straight sun and vast blue skies in the northeast, the bulb flowers have popped and we’re all feeling quite lucky. Now, don’t ask me if I’ve actually spent any of those sunshine-filled days in the

Sometimes the universe works exactly as it should, and not in those random mysterious ways. The very same week I share my desire plan to visit Ireland, my visual collaborator in most things pretty and delicious, Heidi Murphy of White Loft Studio, photographs and styles this gorgeous cake with Jocelyne Pierce of Mayflour Confections. It’s

My Mother has the sweetest tooth around. She’s the sort of sugar loving lady that will spoon bittersweet marmalade out of a jar directly into her mouth and call it dessert. In fact, she’s a valued tasting member of the Eat Boutique team; when she loves something, I know it will be a hit. There’s

Spring Vegetable Pasta

In Boston, it’s been the sort of week where only three food groups will satisfy: carbohydrates, cheese and wine. Yes, cheese and wine are actual food groups this week. It’s basically all we’ve lived on around these parts for the last seven days. You’d be surprised how a good stinky cheese plate and an ever-open

I’ve tried to write this blog post three or four times since Monday. The thing is, I had this fun celebratory post in mind. I planned to tell you about all the amazing things that happened in San Francisco. I planned to gush about the Eat Boutique lunch with Yvette van Boven who really has

  It’s time for a tiny break to just feel. Grab a cup a tea or perhaps a tub of wine. Skip the recipes for now. Maybe stare at a sunset above the clouds from last night’s flight. Let’s take a look at the photos from my last few weeks of work, and talk nerves.

As soon as I open Rare Bird Preserves at an Eat Boutique Market, guests swoon and beg for a spoonful of everything, especially the Passion Fruit Curd that is so popular with our customers. Elizabeth Madden, owner of Rare Bird Preserves, shares insight into how to use her products and some of the great spots
