A book festival “Taste of Boston”

1 week ago | ack.net | Sarah Chase

(June 19, 2025) Of all the festivals and fairs that take place on the island throughout the year, June’s Nantucket Book Festival is one of my favorites.
Good Dish: Celebrate Father’s Day with some sweet and savory strawberry dishes

2 weeks ago | ack.net | Sarah Chase

(June 12, 2025) I realize I have featured strawberry recipes for Mother’s Day on a past occasion in this column, but the truth of the matter is that strawberries should really be incorporated into Father’s Day menus because the height of our brief but beloved New England strawberry season is in June.
Good Dish: Spoonworthy and Swoonworthy Pasta

3 weeks ago | ack.net | Sarah Chase

(June 5, 2025) A while back, I wrote a column expressing my dismay over a difficulty in the sourcing of the tiny pasta shape know as acini di pepe, frequently referred to as pastina in America. Acini di pepe translates from Italian into English as “peppercorn” or “seeds of pepper,” and it is the tiniest of all pasta shapes.
Merroir and terroir at the 2025 Nantucket Wine & Food Festival

1 month ago | ack.net | Sarah Chase

(May 22, 2025) Ever since Denis Toner founded the Nantucket Wine Festival in 1996, I have strived to be a part of the uniqueness, education and fabulous wine and food fun it brings to Nantucket from many parts of the world every May. One of the newspaper articles I wrote and remember quite fondly was entitled “Days of Wine and Cherry Blossoms” since the festival almost always coincides with the profuse pink blossoming of our island’s numerous Japanese cherry trees.
Good Dish: My Kind of Memorial Day

1 month ago | ack.net | Sarah Chase

(May 22, 2025) This past Saturday, I decided to glance at Nantucket’s weather forecast for the upcoming week on my iPhone. The dreary forecast displaying the wind icon for three days straight, followed by the cloudy and rainy icon for another three days straight, was one of the few things that could manage to dampen the ebullient mood I was in after attending a couple of indulgent and bubbly oyster and caviar extravaganzas over the weekend at this year’s Nantucket Wine & Food Festival.
Good Dish: Stalking the Store-Bought Asparagus

1 month ago | ack.net | Sarah Chase

(May 15, 2025) I am writing this column from an area in Maine that, back in the 1970s, became a mecca for many young people embracing the back-to-the-land movement. At the time, Euell Gibbons’ book “Stalking the Wild Asparagus” (David McKay Co., 1962) was pretty much required reading for anyone, hippie or not, interested in culinary pursuits.
Good Dish: Frenchifying Mother’s Day

1 month ago | ack.net | Sarah Chase

(May 8, 2025) A couple of weeks ago, some new friends from Los Angeles who were visiting Cape Cod mentioned a day trip they had taken to Providence, R.I. to see an exhibit on the art of French wallpaper design at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum. I honestly did not know that RISD had a museum, but immediately knew I wanted to go to this exhibit before it ended on Mother’s Day, May 11.
Good Dish: Minty Mexican favorites

(May 1, 2025) Unlike the onset of April, the month of May has a plethora of dates that offer cause for celebration. In addition to the abundance of blossoming May flowers that our many April rain showers and recent Daffodil Festival Weekend monsoon will no doubt be bringing, the month kicks off with the running of the Kentucky Derby Saturday, May 3 and Cinco de Mayo, May 5.
Good Dish: Daffodil Daze

2 months ago | ack.net | Sarah Chase

(April 24, 2025) While spring seemed to take its sweet time arriving this year, I can’t recall ever appreciating clusters of blooming daffodils and forsythia bushes as much as I have over the last several rather blustery but mostly sunny days. I’ve always much preferred daffodils to forsythia but somehow big showy yellow bursts of forsythia are managing to cheer me as much as any given single daffodil blossom.
Good Dish: Thinking Outside the Easter Basket

2 months ago | ack.net | Sarah Chase

(April 17, 2025) I knew several weeks ago when I got into a habit of going to Trader Joe’s too late in the day to score a carton of eggs from the store’s daily ration that my Easter celebration this April was going to end up being far less egg-centric, except for, perhaps, a splurge on a petite tin of caviar.
