Happy 4th of July Weekend flavoristas! The recipes links below are from the May/June issue of Hannaford's fresh magazine, I worked on the recipes last winter and yes I am one of the grill crazy people who grills year-round despite frigid, New England winters. These burgers have been thoroughly tested on my family and neighbors. […]
Dear Flavorista Readers, Before today's post, I would like to apologize for being so absent in the last few months. I have been hard at work on a project that is launching in the fall and I cannot wait to tell you about it but I had to sign a non-disclosure agreement so mum's the […]
Flavorista Eliza brought Paula Deen's Not Yo' Mama's Banana Pudding to our Mother's Day potluck dinner. She and I have been contemplating this specific banana pudding for quite some time; why oh why did we wait so long? All six born and bred yankee adults in attendance agreed that this dessert was crazy good. Banana […]
This recipe was born out of neccesity. A pot of over-cooked beans would have turned to mush in a salad or soup, so a schmootz was the simple solution. This was became a staple of my vegan detox as a spread on rice cakes, as a substitute for mayo and as a dip for blanched […]

Sweet potatoes are not only delicious, but powerhouses of nutrition, often listed as a super food because of their high beta-carotene content. This risotto comes together easily with a little fresh sage to […]
Since everyone is Irish on St. Patrick’s Day, we thought we highlight some Irish gastronomic gems: Kerrygold Colcannon (Potatoes and Cabbage). Kerrygold butter and cheeses are available at many grocery stores. The milk of grass fed cows makes the best butter and there certainly is lots of green pasture in Ireland. If you are […]
Please indulge the flavoristas as we try to win the sweet potato recipe contest, sponsored by the Sweet Potato Board of North Carolina, that is running this month. We will be getting very creative with this wonderfully nutrient-dense tuber! Unlike most chowders, this one is light but still totally satisfying. It was really a delight. It only took […]
A few years ago at a holiday party, I tasted red pepper jelly for the first time. The hostess served it on crackers with cream cheese, straightforward party fare. As a recipe writer, I love to use red pepper jelly in glazes and sauces. If you haven’t discovered the versatility of red pepper jelly, it […]
