But it’s wonderful and well worth a try. According to British cooking maven Delia Smith, these tarts are rumored to have originated at Richmond […]
If you’re like me and you look forward to a day of apple picking each fall, you may be in for a rude fruit awakening this year. May frost took its toll on many orchards, leaving them without any apples for pickers, or with a smaller crop that (to be honest) isn’t looking its best. […]

During her 15-year-career as Yankee’s photo editor, […]

The Encyclopedia of Fall: H is for Hunter’s Moon
We harvested more potatoes today, on a warm, clear October afternoon, geese threading south high above. With the first killing frost a few days ago, we now light a fire at night, but steadfastly refuse to turn on the heat during the day.

Yankee’s Top Summer Events from the May/June 2012 issue featured a late August performance by Herrmanns’ Royal Lipizzan Stallions on the grounds of historic Roseland Cottage in Woodstock, Connecticut. That sounded like reason enough for a day trip, but my husband and I discovered much more. We began with Sunday brunch in Woodstock at The […]
