Langham Hotel City Brunch
Boston is becoming known as a world-class foodie spot. The problem (as we know well, Jordan) is choosing where to go for the best of what’s new and fresh in the region.
Fortunately, Chef Mark Sapienza and his talented team at the Four Diamond-rated Langham Hotel in Boston has brought many of the best bites of Boston and beyond to one place at one time.
Every Sunday starting September 11, the Langham will feature Chef Sapienza’s City Brunch. At this weekly wonderland, locally-sourced items are combined in traditional and contemporary ways to offer locals and tourists alike a true taste of the city that is quickly becoming a hub of the gastronomic universe.
At this interactive dining experience, guests can enjoy artisan meats and seasonal produce at the Langham’s edition of the popular Boston Public Market, as well as local cheeses, breads and fruits from the New England Farmstead section, Italian delicacies from the North End, and an epic seafood display that is appropriately entitled the Seaport District. There are also power breakfast items available in the Financial District and family-friendly fare in the Boston Public Garden, where younger guests can enjoy fresh and healthy versions of such popular items as mini hot dogs, country fried chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese bites and even personal pizzas! It truly has something wicked awesome for everyone and all the delicious information can be found at www.langhamhotels.com/boston.

Cook Me a Story
As my own girls get older and get more adept at various skills, I keep trying to expose them to new activities. One of the most popular has been cooking. And while I do not expect them to be on Master Chef Jr. any time soon, it is a fun way to be together and to develop skills, including math and language skills.
That is why I am loving Bryan Kozlowski’s Cook Me a Story which was recently published by Walter Foster Jr.
In this cutely-illustrated cookbook, favorite characters from such children’s classics as Goldilocks and the Three Bears (which, in this case, are transformed into three pears in a delicious porridge recipe that any species would love), Snow White (who makes a set of seven dumplings), and even the Little Merm-ade (as in a lemonade worth singing about) guide chefs of all ages through stories and recipes that range from breakfast stirrings to dinner suppings and dessert sweetings to drinkable sippings. Along the way, a magic wand marks tasks that may be more appropriate for older chefs (such as using a stove), but most of the book is very kid- and family-friendly and makes for a fun way to introduce younger ones to the wonders of the kitchen. And even if the recipes do not come out perfectly, everyone can live happily ever after!
