Recent Greater Boston Reviews
A real "home from home" and so convenient for local amenities.
We have recently returned to the UK from our holiday in Boston and the house 'made' our holiday. It was such a great base for exploring as we had private parking but also the bus stop if we wanted to go into the city. Also possible to walk into town via the green spaces (emerald necklace ) which was fantastic. We drove down to Marth's Vineyard, over to Concorde and to Rockport. Jamaica Plain was lovely, great restaurants and shops. We loved the house and Jane made us feel so welcome with her info pack and lovely e -mails. It is her home and it feels so welcoming and homely. We tended to lunch out and stayed in for evening meals as the kitchen was so well equipped it was easy to cook. We dined out locally a couple of nights as there are some great places to eat within walking distance. I can't recommend this house highly enough.
Beautiful Home
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home. The owners met us to give us an orientation to the house and the audio-visual systems. The house met all of our needs, including a nice kitchen with high-end appliances and all of our wants such as a trampoline and Ping-Pong table. We would not hesitate to stay here again. The owners are very nice and went out of their way to make sure that we enjoyed our stay!

- Neil Roake, from the Modern Museum, and author of numerous internationally award winning cookbooks, briefed us to design a cookbook layout, under the concept and title "Gold Diggers" which would inspire and suggest a style and editorial layout.
The overall concept of the "Gold Diggers" cookbook is when people move to Johannesburg in search of a better life. Neil is wanting to produce a cookbook which will incorporate and cater to all communities influenced by JHB and South African food. This cookbook is meant to cater to a large variety of persons and cultures which are prone to their own style and methods of cooking while ultimately being who have come together to redefine and form a new community of JHB and share with each other their life stories and favourite recipes.
From this understanding, I gathered that JHB is a 'melting pot' of people, cultures and personalities who all generally gathered there in the pursuit of 'a better life'. Being that 'melting pot' is a metaphor for a diverse society becoming one of similar and common 'adapted' culture. This idea led me to think of kaleidoscopes, which are simply facets of colour formed by light reflecting off mirrors, to form a beautiful symmetrical pattern.
