Drying farm-fresh cayennes! Can't wait for these little guys to burn my face off during the freezing months of winter. 🔥❤️😋 @solunagardenfarm

Spooky cheese! 👻 Can you name the kind of cheese this jack-o-lantern is made from??🎃 Happy Halloween to my friends and foodie fiends everywhere!🖤

Chilly fall days are for snuggling under a pile of blankets, putting on a spooky movie, and snacking on homemade treats like this rosemary beer bread with chive butter (beer from @thewineandcheesecask, chives from @solunagardenfarm!)🍁🌻🍞👻

"The evil villain of the dahlias." -Tatiana (owner of @solunagardenfarm). We've still got bright, beautiful dahlias coming out of our ears! Stop by @bostonpublicmarket to get your fix of fun colors before the frost hits!💐

It's Italian American Heritage Month! Tonight I took my taste buds on a quick trip back to Italy by way of @mikespastry cannoli! I've been reading a lot about the assimilation of Italian food in American diets and it's fascinating to me that the cannolo (singular) is what became the most recognizable Italian dessert to Americans. Clearly not mad about it. #thatsamore

UNHCR estimates that there are roughly 68.5 million forcibly displaced people in the world. The US announced in September that it will be reducing the number of refugees permitted to enter the country from 45,000 to 30,000, though the actual number of relocations is expected to be roughly half of that. @refugeat_book is an effort to raise money for and awareness of the people still living in refugee camps, where inhabitants spend an average of 17 years before relocation. The book is a compilation of recipes from refugees in the Ritsona refugee camp in Greece, each one with its own history and cultural significance. Their sales will benefit not only the recipe contributors but the camp as a whole. There are 8 days left in their fundraising campaign to donate and secure your copy of the book! For more information check out their website at refugeat.com (it's in Spanish, fair warning). And thank you to my friends at @chefugeemadrid for helping spread the word about this important project!❤️💛

Friends in Boston! The New England Chocolate Festival is coming up on October 13th and tickets are available now! 🍫🎉🤓There will be lectures from industry-leading companies like @equalexchange and @dandelionchocolate discussing the social and environmental significance of buying chocolate from small-scale, direct-trade producers. There will also be tastings like French monastic chocolates from four different abbeys in France, world-renowned chocolates made from Venezuelan cacao, and much more. Come learn about where chocolate comes from and how it's made, innovative new flavors and techniques, and support local vendors like @tazachocolate and @somervillechocolatecsa! (Also, if you're looking for something fun to do that Saturday you can sign up to volunteer with me!!). Check out the website for more information: nechocolate.org

Beautiful display from @somervillechocolatecsa at the Boston Local Food Festival yesterday! Somerville Chocolate offers a chocolate CSA consisting of small-batch bars made from SEASONAL CACAO, sourced directly from producers. That means each bar you get in the CSA is made from freshly harvested cacao! 😱 Amazing. Their chocolate was so flavorful and fruity, @helena_may_ thought the Hawaii bar tasted just like pineapple! If you're a chocolate nerd like me, check out their website and sign up for their CSA! 🍫🍫🍫🍫
