Boston Edible Spring Copy

I’m fortunate to have found myself connected to a vibrant local food community. A while back I met Ilene Bezahler, the warm and welcoming editor and publisher of Edible Boston. If you haven’t come across this publication, it’s part of the Edible network with city editions in places such as Boston, San Francisco, Atlanta, and Phoenix. Edible Boston focuses on local food culture, practical tips for eating seasonally, and timely updates on food-related events and news. I was delighted when Ilene invited me to contribute to the magazine.

My first piece appears in the Spring 2007 edition, where I share a recipe for Honey and Lemon Teacakes. I received my copy today and felt pleased to see the feature in print.

The recipe is also available on the Edible Boston website.

If you can find a copy, I hope you enjoy the magazine as much as I do.

Thank you, Ilene!
