Boston, Massachusetts

Oliver Wendell Holmes may have simply meant that Boston’s State House was “the hub of the solar system.” But locals quickly deemed the whole city worthy of such praise, and Boston itself became known as “the Hub.” (Later, Bostonians would expand this modest conceit to encompass the entire universe). For certain, Boston was the home of some of America’s most important nation-building moments: the Boston Tea Party, the start of Paul Revere’s ride, the Battle of Bunker Hill. At one time, Boston was a major player in turning Caribbean molasses into rum -- molasses also being the secret ingredient in Boston baked beans and Boston brown bread. Today, Boston is a hub of both fine and causal dining. The North End continues to show off its Italian heritage. And the South End is rapidly becoming the best place in town for enjoying trendy cuisines. If you’re looking for coffee and a donut to get you going in the morning, you shouldn’t need to walk further than the nearest corner to find a Dunkin’ Donuts.

Roasted Lemon Herb Chicken

Reviewed on jul. 2, 2009 by Marian 
Great recipe! I normally don't make a whole chicken, but the price was right. I used previous reviewers' suggestions of combining everything and then putting it on the chicken. I added fresh thyme because I had some on hand and it came out great. Definitely will use this recipe again.

Easy Tilapia

Reviewed on jul. 1, 2009 by Marian 
Good recipe for someone hesitant to cook fish. I bought a bit more fish as 6 oz. of fillets was hardly enough for two people. The sauce makes a lot of sauce and I could have cut back on that. My son loved the fish, but wasn't hot on the sauce (I think because of the capers) and my husband liked the sauce, but thought the fish was too lemony. It was an easy way to incorporate fish into our life, but I would use less lemon next time and add garlic. Thanks!

Gourmet Mushroom Risotto

Reviewed on jul. 2, 2009 by Marian 
Delicious! Yes, it required paying attention to it, but it was totally worth it. I added only a little bit of vegetable broth at a time and added asparagus in addition to the mushrooms and shallots. Finished it off with Earth Balance spread (non-dairy), scallions instead of chives as that is what I had on hand, a little salt and pepper, and no parmesan cheese for a surprisingly awesome vegan dish. Yes, vegan! I always thought risotto had tons of cream or cheese to account for the creaminess, but none to be found and it was so good!
