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.

Peach Muffins

Reviewed on Aug. 24, 2008 by cookin'mama
Since I have not had as much luck using white whole-wheat flour in muffins and breads as I have with cookies, I consulted my King Arthur whole grain cookbook before I started this recipe. I used one cup organic whole-wheat white flour and one half cup unbleached all purpose flour. Made with fresh locally grown peaches, what a fabulous Sunday morning, read the paper, treat these turned out to be! Since I tend to try new recipes all the time, my husband asked me more than once to promise that I would make these again. No worries, I definitely will!

Caramelized Onions on the Grill

Reviewed on Aug. 24, 2008 by cookin'mama
Caramelized is definitely a misnomer in this recipe. Mine came out mushy and with a steamed quality. I think that bouillon granules have a very artificial almost chemical taste so I subbed Penzey's beef soup base, which has a fresher, less salty flavor. Although grilling onions directly or slowly caramelizing them in a skillet is a lot more work, I think it is worth the effort.

Spicy Grilled Shrimp

Reviewed on Aug. 24, 2008 by cookin'mama
Notice that the recipe calls for coarse salt; if you use regular table salt it will be too salty. That being said, I still cut down on the salt even though I used coarse sea salt because we don't like things too salty. I used three cloves of garlic, ground chipotle pepper instead of cayenne, a Tablespoon of tomato paste from a tube, and a bit more olive oil and lemon to thin the tomato paste. I allowed the shrimp to marinate for about 30 minutes. Shrimp do not take long to cook on the grill and they are done as soon as they turn pink. Great recipe!
