Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center Executive Director Janis Martinson shared two of her family's favorite recipes.
“My husband's (Stephen Sagarin) multi-generational pot roast recipe is the hands-down favorite as a comfort meal. It originated in a cookbook somewhere but has been altered over time."
"Another favorite for special occasions, where it becomes a team effort, is a recipe I brought back from my year as an exchange student in Stockholm (many decades ago). I started making this because I missed the flavors of Swedish cooking and keep coming back to it because it can be made ahead to feed a crowd. Now we prepare it in large batches to share or freeze in batches for later meals.”
