  • BU Seminars in Food, Wine & the Arts

    BU Seminars

    The catalog for the BU Seminars in Food, Wine & the Arts is one piece of mail that always brings a big smile to my face. Now that a new season of lectures, feasts, hands-on-cooking, tastings, demonstrations, and special events has arrived, we're making this wonderful series our Friday Link.

    Over the years, I have enjoyed and learned from people I respect at these events. If you are not on the mailing list, you can find the listing online right here. Explore the seasonal offerings and make your reservations now. You'll be surprised how fast some of these events sell out.

    Alimentum

    Those of us who love to express our creativity through food also love to find publications and websites that collect great work to inspire us. Alimentum is one of those sites.

    They say:

    "Since 2005 Alimentum has been delighting readers with stories, essays, and poems that use food as a kind of muse to inspire memory, ideas, humor, joy, melancholy, triumph and reflection. The works are not just about what’s on your plate. They explore our deep personal connection to how we eat, what we eat, and the very primal part food plays in our lives.."

    We say:

    We have been following and enjoying this carefully curated collection since its early days as a print publication. There are still some early copies tucked amid our cookbooks. Most were passed along to other food lovers. Now that it's available online, get over there and explore the site. 

    Here's the site.

    Here's their Twitter feed.

    BostInno

    The team here at BostonZest is honored to be included in this group. We recommend that you take a look at this collection. We're sure you'll find more than a few that fit your personal food taste. We were already following many of these and after sampling the rest, we've added a few more to our local food information feeds!

    Lisa also won our hearts when she said, "Oh, and it has nothing to do with food, but Penny has a whole section dedicated to dogs, with the most adorable photos of pups around the city." We do love our Boston Dogs!

    Today's Friday Link is Mary Kay from Out and About in Paris. She did a report on our recent lunch at Sel de la Terre. If you have blogging pals and your travel schedules put you in the same city, I recommend meeting up if your schedules permit. 

    Our lunch began with a toast with a glass of sparkling wine from Westport Rivers Vineyard & Winery. When I mentioned that my dining companion was visiting from Paris, our very gracious waiter presented the lovely board of charcuterie shown in Mary Kay's photo (above) as a gift from the kitchen. It was the perfect opening to a leisurely lunch.  

    After lunch we slipped into the Salon at L'Espalier so I could show Mary Kay a spot to treat her husband to some fine cheese and wine in the heart of the Back Bay. The staff there was just as welcoming and took us on a quick tour of the restaurant, provided menus for us to review, and even supplied the current cheese list to Mary Kay.

    Since she was staying in a Back Bay condo on a home exchange, we both picked up a few things at the Copley Square Farmers' Market before our walk home. 

    When you visit Out and About in Paris, be sure to put Boston into the search box and enjoy seeing our city through the eyes of a frequent visitor who certainly seems to love it here.
