When we asked Boston.com readers where to find the best empanadas in Boston, we received close to 40 recommendations. From empanada stands at farmers markets to Colombian restaurants in East Boston, respondents praised dozens of restaurants for their creative empanada fillings, variety of dipping sauces, and takeout and delivery capabilities, with one reader sharing that an empanada company’s home delivery option “has seriously kept us alive during the pandemic.” That’s nothing to scoff at.
Of course, some readers felt that the dish was best when made in their own home. Stefan Ferrari-Peinl in Charlestown wrote that the region’s top empanadas were “in our kitchen, where my Argentinean wife prepares the best meat empanadas with olives, egg, and onion based on her grandmother’s recipe.” Matty from Malden agreed, writing “My kitchen, because my gf and I are great at making them!” Ok, so when can we come ov

The 13th annual Taste of Dorchester fundraiser event will take place in a virtual format on Thursday, April 29 from 7-8 p.m.
The annual event organized by Dorchester-based nonprofit Massachusetts Affordable Housing Alliance (MAHA) puts the spotlight on local eateries while raising funds for MAHA s homeownership education and civic engagement programs. Last year’s event, Taste of Dorchester “At Home,” saw the community rally to support the beleaguered Dorchester restaurant scene; similarly, this year, proceeds will go to local restauranteurs, with attendees encouraged to order takeout from those neighborhood establishments.
Who makes the best Italian sub in Boston?
It’s a question we asked our readers in late March, thinking naively, perhaps that a couple dozen sub shops would be suggested and we’d come away with a concise understanding of the city’s top Italian subs.
Needless to say, there were strong opinions on this topic. More than 2,300 readers responded to our survey, and many of the responses named sub destinations well outside of Boston’s borders. These recommendations included sub shops, of course, but also Italian restaurants and pizza joints, delis tucked away at the back of liquor stores, and specialty markets and grocery stores (many readers extolled the virtues of Market Basket’s Italian sub).

The Not Just pantry staple pack.Handout
When you quickly have to pull dinner together, itâs a relief to find some healthy ingredients on the shelf â no rummaging in the fridge for leftovers or running to the store. Catherine Smart and Jacqueline Grady Smith had this in mind when they launched Not Just, a line of pantry staples. As chefs, cooking teachers whoâve worked in food TV, and moms with young children, they know full well the strain of juggling multiple tasks and meal prep (Smart formerly contributed to the Globe food pages). First, they introduced Not Just Pasta Sauce, which you can adapt to use for a range of dishes. The fresh and bright, chunky tomato sauce without added sugar, tastes wonderfully simple but incorporates 10 different
