Dachenie Ganthier, Contributing Writer

December 21, 2018

Haitian patties are a type of “fritay,” which are fried foods like meat and plantains. Sometimes, fritay is served with a spicy coleslaw side dish called “pikliz.” If you ever visit Haiti, you have to try fritay. You can often see merchants selling them on the streets!

A Family Tradition: Sweet Potato Pie

November 30, 2018

Every Thanksgiving, my dad makes a lot of food. The entire Thanksgiving dinner is my favorite meal of the year, yet there is one dish that stands out to me: his sweet potato pie. I know that might sound basic, but his is so good and has a bit of a sweet twist. I also love helping him make it every year. This pie is soft and sweet, but the perfect side course for a typical Thanksgiving meal. Enjoy!

I recently made these cookies with my mom one afternoon and fell in love! They are the perfect blend of sweetness, ginger, and spices that remind me of the holidays in each bite. I recommend having them with milk or Earl Grey tea (feel free to dip!).

A Homemade Lemon Pie like No Other

October 30, 2018

When I hear “lemon pie,” I think of the classic lemon meringue pie. So, when I made this lemon pie for the first time, I was surprised at how it was made. The crust is unique, and you have to make it yourself, as the main ingredient is Saltine crackers. The filling is made almost like a pumpkin pie, where it is made separately from the crust.

When you walk into José’s Mexican Restaurant on 131 Sherman Street, the first thing you will notice is the ambiance. The room is dimly lit but very warm—like a home—and the walls are decorated with classic Mexican art.

Pear Ginger Cake

October 30, 2018

This cake is soft, delicate, rich, and combines some of my favorite fall flavors. Browning the butter is an extra step but is as easy as simply melting it, and the subtle nuttiness it will add to the cake is worth the extra few minutes. I used red pears and kept the skins on, which added a nice touch of color.

Early Fall Produce Guide

Miriam Alvarez-Rosenbloom, Layout Designer

October 22, 2018

I am always reluctant to like fall and the eventual winter it promises. But for food, the month of September brings together everything good there is to eat. It can still be warm enough to eat watermelon outside, but the next day I can be slow-roasting squash. The abundance of the harvest season could never be condensed into a single page, so here are just a few of ...

Peach Custard Cake

September 28, 2018

This is a recipe adapted from Bon Appetit Magazine, and in the past months, it has become one of my favorite things to eat and make. It is the perfect texture—rich and custardy yet not too heavy—and just sweet enough. Do not use an electric mixer, and make sure to really mix the eggs and sugar for a minute, or else the fruit will sink into the batter.
