Those who know me are familiar with my love and loyalty to the South of France. Not only did my family travel to France frequently when I was growing up (after all, Paris was only a 3-4 hour train ride away from London), but I spent time traveling the country and living in Aix-en-Provence after [...]

Trader Joe’s offers two incredible products that I like to use as the base for pizza. Firstly, their Flat Ciabatta in the bread section – so delicious and easy, you’ll have dinner on the table in twenty minutes. The other is the Artisan Frozen Puff Pastry. It’s also incredibly easy and can be used for [...]

Have you ever noticed that sometimes the appetizers are just so good, you’d rather skip the main meal? The more we entertain, the more we opt for an array of appetizers as opposed to a massive meal. They’re fun to make, planning is easy, timing less important (hence you get more time to relax and [...]

My mom taught us three kids that even if we didn’t cook much, we should have a few specialty dishes that we learned to make well, so we’d always be prepared for last minute dinner parties. Stuffed Zucchini has been one of her go-to dishes over the past few years—mostly because of the large number [...]

Apart from the warm, happy feeling they evoke, soups are also quick, [...]

I tend to be known around UPP for my love of food, cooking, travel, and of course, all things Boston.

Well, I’m happy to report that I (plus 32,000+ other soccer fans) got to attend the inaugural Fenway Football Challenge at Boston’s beloved Fenway Park last week. To get a full report on the teams, the players, the history, I’d recommend checking out recent articles in the Boston Globe, USA Today, as well as the history [...]

For the Boston parents out there who do not yet own a copy of Boston Baby, this week (high of 96 degrees today!) might be the week to pick up a copy!  Author Kim Foley  MacKinnon dedicates an entire chapter of the book, “It’s Hot, Hot, Hot,” to summer activities that’ll keep the whole family cool [...]

Dubbed by the Boston Phoenix as “the world’s classiest luncheonette,” Union Park Press is pleased as punch that our June 13th tour: “The Big Dig: Boston Blasts, Builds, and Reconnects” co-led by Boston’s Gardens & Green Spaces author Meg Muckenhoupt and Boston Your Way’s Maryglenn Vincens will be finishing up with tea and treats at Barbara [...]
