Inspired Recipe Wins Lobster Corn Chowdah Cakes

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Inspired by places I’ve been and people I love another winning recipe with these Lobster Corn Chowdah Cakes comes to life. Do you think the judges can tell a recipe that comes from the heart? That recipe embedded in your memories just waiting to be created given the challenge? Gloria Ferrer can.

my young family at the beach in Cape Cod inspired the recipe for Lobster Corn Chowdah Cakes
Cape Cod 1991

How did the judges know how much summer fun so many years ago my kids had at the Cape or how much we still enjoy a fresh lobster roll? Or this glorious lobster bite my daughter made while we vacationed in Nantucket just a few years ago? Further, how could they know the love and the memories that inspire the food that brings my people together?

I doubt they know anything about those wintery President’s Day long weekends we spent at the Boston science museum or the times we huddled on the Freedom Trail eating a comforting bowl of “chowdah”, but somehow it came through in my recipe.

How to create a winning recipe

I am often asked how to create a winning recipe. The answer is always the same: “No gimmicks…just cook YOUR food.” Thank you Gloria Ferrer for choosing my recipe as a regional finalist. With every win I am honored and surprised and just feeling very lucky. I am so looking forward to cooking from my heart for those attending the event in Boston.

Jumping for joy. These two will always inspire me. I am grateful for how much they have loved ebelskivers any time of the day or night. Stuffed with lobster and corn they are the perfect package for my glorious bite and fill my heart with the most wonderful memories. Serve with Gloria Ferrer Sonoma Brut. CHEERS!

    Love, love love this post! So many similar memories with my kids… living 10 miles from Boston…we were frequent fliers in the city. Will be making these next weekend when Molly comes home for fall break. Wish we had time to drive to Wellfleet! Congrats again and fabulous photos. ❤️

      We are like two peas in a pod and I was hoping you’d catch a glimpse of this one. I had you on my mind when I was writing this.
