By Maureen Abood On May 24, 2012 · 65 Comments · In Chicken, Fish, Beef, Lamb, Christmas, Easter, Fall, Gluten-Free, Grains and Legumes, Stories and Recipes, Summer, Vegetables
[…watch my video on how to roll grapeleaves HERE!…] There is one thing I’ve always thought was a given about grape leaves: that fresh is best. In other words, that leaves picked when they’ve just unfurled from the vine in the spring and eaten immediately make the finest little stuffed rolls. Or so I thought, [...]

By Maureen Abood On March 15, 2012 · 24 Comments · In Christmas, Drinks, Easter, Gluten-Free, Maza, Appetizers and Dips, Pastry and Sweets, Stories and Recipes, Vegan, Vegetarian
Warm almond-stuffed dates with lime zest are the absolute simplest, most sophisticated appetizer in my repertoire. Everyone loves them for their deep caramel-like flavor, even the date-wary! Every day at Tante Marie’s, the best of our plates were saved for a special friend of the house. We took pains to be certain that he received [...]

Caramel Corn to help you ring in the New Year

By Maureen Abood On December 27, 2011 · 9 Comments · In Christmas, Grains and Legumes, Pastry and Sweets, Stories and Recipes, Winter
Every year around the holidays, memories of the times I’ve spent up north at Christmas and New Year’s inevitably surface. I’ve never been much of a New Year’s Eve fan, at least not once I started going out for parties and horn-blowing in various cities. Nothing quite so mind-dimming as kissing and hugging a bunch [...]

Candied Orange Peel begins with the letter “C”

By Maureen Abood On December 1, 2011 · 20 Comments · In Christmas, Pastry and Sweets, Preserves and Pickles, Stories and Recipes, Winter
When my mother moved out of the home she lived in for 40 years, the home where she raised five children, a husband, many vegetable and flower gardens, and 50 pine trees, there was plenty of accumulated stuff to sort through. It was the stuff of photos, books, kitchen and china cabinets, closets, and more [...]

Technique: How to prep oranges for candied peel

By Maureen Abood On November 30, 2011 · 4 Comments · In Christmas, Pastry and Sweets, Preserves and Pickles, Stories and Recipes, Techniques
The OCD-afflicted among us are going to enjoy the organized manner in which it’s best to peel citrus for candying. I have never been one to indulge in the wreckless abandon of tearing off the skin of an orange willy nilly until the fruit is naked. No, I give myself little gold stars on each [...]

By Maureen Abood On November 3, 2011 · 19 Comments · In Christmas, Easter, Pastry and Sweets, Stories and Recipes
As I was saying yesterday, my thing for sugar happened somewhere way back. Could it have anything to do with an incident that took place when I was hiked up on my father’s shoulder at a Buck Owens concert when I was a very small child? Buck Owens himself (brace yourself: of Hee Haw fame) [...]

When I’m at the farm market here in the north country, focus can be a difficult thing. I go in with a plan, I really do, but then the radishes I wanted so badly are not there, and Bill tells me they just didn’t do well for him this year. Besides, he says looking around [...]
