As someone who loves chocolate, I am already a HUGE fan of Flava Naturals- a MA-based company that makes some of the most delicious varieties around by adding such in-genius ingredients as fresh blueberries, roasted almonds, and Himalayan salt to their delicious dark chocolate bars. Not only do these additions up the flavor, they also […]
Especially around New England, Valentine’s Day is associated with boxes of tiny hearts with messages printed on them. And while the messages may reach the heart, the candies themselves may not make it to the stomach. Fortunately, there is a new way to use food to send a personal message.

As a fan of diners and of local establishments with long histories, I have long been a regular at Johnny’s Luncheonette. For over 30 years, Johnny’s has been a staple of the Newton Centre community, drawing people in from far and wide and catering to such legends as David Mamet (who I saw there myself!)
In New England, we are blessed with some of the best food and drink makers around. Among my favorites are Kane’s Donuts and UFO beers.

I have long been a fan of Rail Trail Flatbread Company and its sister ice cream stop New City Microcreamery and so was thrilled to hear how successful the Valentine’s Day event that we recently promoted was.! Apparently, people came from miles around to pick up the special heart-shaped pizzas they made that we decorated
Many years ago, I sang the praises of a great restaurant just outside of Boston called Brothers. It not only offered great food made by – you guessed it – a set of brothers, but it also featured amazing music by two of the most talented brothers in the area – Bill and Bo Winiker.
Vermont is lovely this time of year (as it is at all times of year)! And while I continue to sing the praises of Champlain Orchards and their amazing (and expanding) menu of fruity-offerings (including some of my favorite ciders – which is saying something!), if there’s one thing I like to use their ciders
I know that I have said it before, but I LOVE Donut Villa. And though the name may not do justice to the amazing and amazingly varied menu (all of which is, as I said, amazing!), the fact that the name has stuck for over 50 years and what started as one donut-forward store in
People say Valentine’s Day is just for lovers. I say it’s just for chocolate! As evidence, I submit the latest creations from one of my favorite Israeli imports (along with Galit’s and BonaPita) – my Needham neighbor Liron Pergament-Gal of ChocAllure. Not only are her sweets some of the most artistically beautiful around (to the
