For Molly Ford and Sarah Jesup, founders of online dining resource The Food Lens, food is the heart and soul of Boston. But the pandemic, with all its restrictions and limits on restaurants, has stifled so many of their favorite places.
In response, The Food Lens released âDining in Boston,â their first digital cookbook with recipes directly from local chefs and restaurants. Some of the cityâs best dishes make an appearance â the roast beef from Cuttyâs in Brookline, the Creamy Lobster Roll from Row 34 in Fort Point.
Two restaurants that have made a name for themselves outside the borders of East Boston are now featured in The Food Lens’ first digital cookbook “Dining in Boston”.
The Food Lens, an online dining resource that helps readers discover the best food, drink, and happenings in Boston, has included a recipe each from Angela’s Cafe and Tawakal Halal Cafe in Eastie.
The Food Lens’ founders Molly Ford and Sarah Jesup also compiled more than 38 other recipes from the area’s best chefs and restaurants in an effort to bring their readers a new way to experience local dining at home during Covid-19.

The lemonade-style cardboard signs read ‘Free Food’ and ‘Helping Each Other.’ It is a beautiful reminder of the power of community. ”

“Bow Market’s Safe Supply. The Bow Market crew created a board game-like safe shopping experience to help customers support their favorite small businesses. The market’s place markers started with a hand-washing station and ended with the opportunity to donate to the Greater Somerville’s Homeless Coalition. The reimagined public market had offerings from the Biscuit, fresh produce from regional farms, and frozen grocery items from Bow Market’s restaurants, as well as food to go and beer and wine.”

“I hit up Ba Le in Dorchester all the time and can eat one of their barbecue beef banh mi sandwiches every day. The Daily Market right by the Savin Hill T stop in Dorchester has been a life-saver for quick grocery runs and ‘I need to leave this house or I’m going crazy’ grab-and-go lunches. Pantry Pizza is also perfect for those nights when I just needed to turn off my brain and eat chicken
