This week on Weekends with Yankee, we see the very best of New England. Our journey begins in Hanover, New Hampshire, which Yankee magazine editors say “might just be the best college town of all.” Then it’s south to Rhode Island, where cohost Richard Wiese strolls through The Elms, one of the most breathtaking of Newport’s Gilded Age mansions. Finally, we head to Martha’s Vineyard, off the coast of Massachusetts, for some of the most succulent sea scallops in the world. Back in the Test Kitchen, cohost and Yankee senior food editor Amy Traverso shows us how to pull off a terrific, easy-to-make baked scallop dish.
The combination of butter, garlic, and vermouth in the sauce for these baked bay scallops is heavenly – be sure to serve with lots of bread for mopping up the juices.
