17/02/10 Whole Foods follow up

So I made a great recipe that I saw on Rachel Ray with the ricotta gnocchi from Whole Foods. I haven’t found many places that have ricotta gnocchi, which I usually prefer to its potato counterpart. I copied the recipe below. I changed the recipe slightly. I left out the onions and the wine, and […]

17/02/10 Michael’s Tailor Shop

Michael is the real deal, a real craftsman.

16/02/10 Whole Foods-Legacy Place

Don’t come here if you’re hungry because you’ll want to buy everything in the store!

15/02/10 Ashmont Grill

After going to Tavolo the other night, we decided to go back for a second try. When we got there, it was closed for renovations. So we walked a block down the street to the Ashmont Grill, their sister restaurant. It was dim and chic inside with exposed brick and pictures of food spanning the […]

14/02/10 Market (in the W Hotel)

I had been reading GREAT reviews for this place (Boston.com and a so so review from the Herald). I went here in the beginning of January. When I booked on Open Table the only choices were 5:30pm and 8:45pm. We chose 8:45pm. My sister in law was taking a cooking class at a well known […]

14/02/10 Tavolo

We got take out from Tavolo so I can’t comment on the service. Located in Dorchester, right around the corner from it’s sister restaurant Ashmont Grill, Tavolo is a great neighborhood find. At 5:30 it was pretty empty but I can imagine that it can get crowded and have a good bar scene. It has […]

14/02/10 Breakfast Tart with Pancetta and Green Onions

I saw this recipe on the food network. I made it twice and was pleasantly surprised when it turned out so well. It’s important to make sure to let the tart cool after you take it out of the oven, otherwise it will run all over the place. It’s so easy to make! I used […]

14/02/10 Wasik’s Cheese Shop

I was turned onto Wasik’s from my boss. I was invited to a fancy dinner party and needed some nicer cheeses to bring than what you could find at your local supermarket. My boss told me this was the place to go. Located in Wellesley Center, it is a family run business. And when I […]

14/02/10 Nordstrom’s Cafe Bistro

Located on the second floor of Nordstoms is the Cafe Bistro. I think it’s a nice alternative to the regular mall fare. You walk in and order at the counter. Everything is made to order, you don’t want mayo on your sandwich-no problem! You choose a seat and the waiter brings your food over to […]

11/02/10 Phillip’s Candy House

So let me preface this post by saying that I don’t like boxed chocolate. You inevitably end up spending X amount of dollars for a box of chocolates and if you are lucky if you only hate 1/2 of them. But I took one for the team, or in this case the blog. Phillips is […]
