So many seafood chowder recipes, so little time! If you’re like me, you know there’s not much better in this world than a soothing bowl of seafood chowder. Creamy, rich, nourishing, and briny; if you’re a seafood lover, what’s not to like? Of course, that’s a rhetorical question but only if made the right way. […]

Take a look around your local farmers market or health food store in early spring and you might find some strange-looking, green quarter-sized coiled vegetables known as fiddlehead ferns (also known as Ostrich ferns). These edible ferns are named for their resemblance to the ornamental ends of fiddles and other stringed instruments. But don’t blink. Because before you […]

Who doesn’t love New England’s most iconic recipe, New England clam chowder? But did you know you can make chowder from any type of fish or shellfish? Lobster corn chowder, various fish chowders, and crab chowder are some of the more commonly made seafood chowder recipes. But perhaps the most underrated and most delicious is […]

Caldeirada de Peixe, a traditional Portuguese fish stew, is an iconic Portuguese fisherman’s stew, made with the catch of the day, fresh vegetables, and spices. Like any Portuguese soup or stew, recipes (and opinions) vary from region to region, town to town, and family to family. Made with fresh ingredients and homemade fish stock, you […]

That’s my sweet pup, Lipton, in the picture above. Isn’t she a beauty? I think she’s the most adorable dog ever, though I may be a little biased about that. We’ve been trying out an organic bone broth made specifically for dogs recently. Bone broth for dogs is becoming quite popular and for good reason. […]

Red, yellow and green. It’s not too often you get such unique colors in a chowder! In this wild salmon chowder recipe, yellow corn, green peas and the deep rich red flesh of a wild-caught salmon (as opposed to the pale pink of farm-raised salmon) make for a striking presentation. Most importantly, it’s delicious! I […]

Now that I’ve lived in New England for well over a decade, I’ve acquired quite a collection of New England cookbooks. I can’t wait to contribute my own New England cookbook to this post someday!

Rich (but not too rich) and sweet (but not too sweet), this roasted carrot apple soup works any time of the year but is especially suited for autumn when apples are in season. It’s especially well-suited for kids as most will find the sweetness in this recipe very palatable. This recipe could also teach kids […]

Who doesn’t love a simple butternut squash soup in the cold weather months? Its dense flesh and nutty flavor is a bit like sweet potatoes but with more of a butterscotch-like flavor. Warming spices like cinnamon and nutmeg make it all the more nourishing and delicious. It’s a close call with my Roasted Carrot Apple […]
