Episode 213: Winter in New England

This week on Weekends with Yankee, we explore New England in wintertime, a season of snowy adventures and breathtaking beauty. We start off with a visit to historic Lexington, Massachusetts, the town where the first shots of the Revolutionary War forever changed the course of this country. While there, we cook up a New England artisan dinner with chef Stacy Cogswell at the Inn at Hastings Park, and put spotlight on some of the regional designers and food makers who represent New England craftsmanship and entrepreneurial spirit. Next, it’s up north we go, to Nestlenook Farm in Jackson, New Hampshire, for a journey back to the winters of yesteryear on a horse-drawn sleigh. And with the holiday season in mind, we wrap up with some suggestions for great New England food gifts that can be made quickly and easily in the kitchen.
