Last spring, I asked for your favorite rhubarb recipes, and you all delivered! Among the cobblers, pies, and dessert bars I was most intrigued by this Strawberry-Rhubarb Mojito – a twist on the classic rum cocktail, using rhubarb and strawberry simple syrup, white rum, lime juice, and 7UP.

Jasper White’s World Famous Lobster Rolls
In New York, finding live lobster was never the easiest – and I’m not sure if live lobster ON SALE was ever a thing! So, when I saw local-caught lobster on sale for $7.99 a pound in Portland last week I snatched up several and […]
Rachel Gurjar’s Sauerkraut and Potato Skillet
Right after moving to Maine, I was told we had to try Morse Sauerkraut. I picked up a jar the first week I was here, but it lingered in the fridge until I happened upon Rachel Gurjar’s Sauerkraut and Potato Skillet! Now I’m in love […]
Sohla El-Waylly’s Bravas Potato Salad
Patatas Bravas is one of my favorite Spanish tapas! I always thought it’d be a fun twist to refashion it as potato salad, but I always got stuck on how to maintain the distinct crispiness of potatoes while slathering them in sauce and chilling in the fridge.

Julia Child’s Blueberry Clafouti
Years ago, my friend Annie introduced me to clafoutis during one of her epic brunches, and I’ve been hooked on these pancake-like, slightly sweet desserts with fruit ever since. And Julia Child’s version doesn’t disappoint!
Win Son’s Fried Milk Dough Sundaes with Peanuts and Cilantro-Mint Sauce
Every year for my birthday, I like to challenge myself to make a dessert that intimidates me! To kick off the last year of my 30s, I decided to recreate a dessert I fell in love with during my first visit to Win Son: Fried Milk Dough Sundaes with Peanuts and Cilantro-Mint Sauce!
Sarah Jampel’s Just-Keeps-Getting-Better Lentil Salad
The base of the salad is tasty by itself, featuring ribbons of Tuscan kale, cooked green lentils, feta and Castelvetrano olives. However, the spiced oil takes this to the absolute next level! It’s infused with scallion, lemon, garlic, cumin and crushed red chili flakes with coarsely chopped almonds – ensuring every bite of this salad is a dream.
