Loads of Good Eating
I’ve been remiss in keeping in touch via this blog – I’ve just been so busy! Lots of work, but as the food editor here at Yankee, I’ve found that work means loads of good eating and traveling around New England visiting friends and meeting new people. I spent much of the end of the […]
New Hampshire
Restaurant Review: Bedford Village Inn
New Hampshire’s Bedford Village Inn–the renovated circa-1790 Gordon family farmhouse and barn and the mid-18th-century Woodbury Cottage–is ready for you if turning on the oven isn’t part of your plans this season.

Massachusetts
Restaurant Review: Fruitlands
When the rolling hills of central Massachusetts beckoned, Bronson Alcott (Louisa May’s dad) and his optimistic band of Utopians settled in and named their farm “Fruitlands,” as they planned to live off the fruits of the land. Their 1843 experiment was short-lived, but Clara Endicott Sears, a Brahmin with vision, picked up the pieces in […]
Just back from some R&R on my favorite island, Nantucket. I’ve been going since I was a kid. The first time, I think, my mom took me, when I was about 6. My older brother was in North Dakota for the summer, living with family friends who own a ranch. I think Mom was trying […]
I spent the weekend with my nephew and nieces, six-year-old James being the eldest, followed by Kiley at four, and young Abigail, one and a half, bringing up the rear. For better or worse, these kids are good eaters. James and I made our banana pancakes (featured in Yankee‘s Jan/Feb 09 issue in “Taking Comfort“); […]
Once a year, I go with a group of friends to Duxbury, Massachusetts, to visit the farmers of Island Creek Oysters (islandcreekoysters.com). It’s one of my favorite “traditions,” and this year was a nearly perfect day. Carl Christian, owner of the Boston restaurant 28 Degrees, organizes the day and usually takes care of lunch. This […]
