2 weeks ago | edibleboston.com | Nicole Taylor

“I rolled up my sleeves”It’s only been a decade or so that Devine herself could tell you much about birch trees or bleeding hearts. Her career spanned furniture manufacturing, business school, urban planning, investor relations in biotech and nonprofit fundraising before her interests turned to curriculum design.

3 weeks ago | edibleboston.com | Jacqueline Cain

Linda Palmer stopped in at the Daily Table on a recent Friday, as she was in the habit of doing. As someone who strives to eat a vegan diet, lives on the Roxbury/Dorchester line and works in Mattapan, Palmer has shopped regularly at the affordable grocery store for things like produce, almond milk and hummus. She’s frequented four out of five Daily Table locations, she says, and is familiar with the chain’s broad selection of products, which constantly rotated but was always abundant.

Dec 3, 2024 | edibleboston.com | Alison Moore

Third-generation Amesbury resident Nina Buxton grows and donates hundreds of pounds of produce annually from her backyard garden on Lake Gardner.

Bigger Than Boston: Legacy Businesses Transcend Local — Edible Boston

Nov 17, 2024 | edibleboston.com | Jacqueline Cain

Walking the aisle at pretty much any grocery store along the East Coast where Italian specialty products are sold, a shopper will likely recognize the red and yellow labels of Pastene. If you’ve ever eaten a sub from Papa Gino’s—or any number of restaurants from Florida to Maine—it may have been served on a roll from Piantedosi bakery.

CamposA tick before 7am on most Saturdays, Shea Callahan carefully loads 50 loaves of still-warm, freshly baked sourdough bread into the back of her red Toyota Camry and heads to the gym. CrossFit EXP not only serves as Callahan’s daily fitness haven, but the Leominster-based gym offered the launchpad for her business, Young Leaven Microbakes.
Herb Roasted Chicken and Winter Squash with Orange Balsamic Sauce — Edible Boston

Nov 15, 2024 | edibleboston.com | Elle Simone Scott

Photo by Michael Piazza / Styled by Catrine KeltyNot much needs to be said about the benefits of roasting during the winter (warming the kitchen and the soul) and this easy, low-lift dish is just what the season ordered. I’m always excited to see pumpkins, gourds and squash at their prime at this time of year and the diverse ways they can be prepared is always a wonder; buy small squash if you can, or plan a use for the leftover uncooked portions.
Pear Hazelnut Bread Pudding with Cardamom Glaze — Edible Boston

Nov 15, 2024 | edibleboston.com | Elle Simone Scott

Photo by Michael Piazza / Styled by Catrine KeltyThis recipe is my ode to pears, one of the most underused fruits. Ripe pears are so tender and lend well to baking, even with their subtle flavor profile. But when paired (no pun intended!) with toasty hazelnuts and earthy cardamom, this classic recipe is transformed into something special. Bread pudding is already a customizable crowd pleaser and tucking pears between the custardy bread cubes takes it up several notches.
Sweet Potato Hot Water Cornbread with Whipped Honey Butter — Edible Boston

Nov 15, 2024 | edibleboston.com | Elle Simone Scott

Photo by Michael Piazza / Styled by Catrine KeltyThere were always two types of cornbread on our family’s gathering table: an oven-baked sweet one and hot water cornbread (also known as hoecakes, which are similar to Rhode Island’s jonnycakes) fried as patties in a cast-iron skillet. Both are equally delicious and widely accepted yet vastly different in taste and texture.
