Great Maine Apple Day

by MF&L Staff
Is well named. Hauling yourself out to Unity on the 24th for MOFGA’S annual apple jamboree is a great way to spend a fall day and that’s because Maine has a lot of great apples. Somewhere well north of 50 apple varieties laid out for tasting. The tasting part is a unique opportunity to check...CONTINUE READING

The Freshest Grocery Store on the Web

by MF&L Staff
I used to regularly drag my ex-boyfriend to the farmer’s market near my old apartment on Saturday mornings. There he joined the throng of other bewildered, sleepy young males, following their girlfriends morosely through what is normally the movie theater parking lot, burdened with bags of greens, apples and bread and undoubtedly wishing they were...CONTINUE READING

Pulao Rice with Fresh Green Peas

Stuffed Crab Shells

by MF&L Staff
Called cua farci in Vietnamese, these stuffed crab shells make for an excellent appetizer or a light meal when served with a salad on the side. The dish reflects a French influence: The word farci is French for “stuffed,” for example, and the dish contains butter. But it is very much Vietnamese in flavor and...CONTINUE READING

Classic Down East Haddock Chowder

by MF&L Staff
The virtue of Maine-style fish chowder is its simplicity. It’s a milky, brothy chowder, unembellished with wine or heavy cream, tasting mostly of the good, fresh, locally caught haddock from which it is made. This recipe is classic, with the main concession to modernity being the addition of fresh thyme, which you can omit or...CONTINUE READING
