This week on Weekends with Yankee, senior food editor Amy Traverso meets up with Boston celebrity chef Tiffani Faison to tour three of her restaurants and cook one of her signature dishes, Potato Gnocchi with Taleggio Fonduta and Salsa Verde.  

Then it’s off to Richmond, Rhode Island, where adventurer Richard Wiese saddles up to explore the Preserve Sporting Club on horseback, followed by flyfishing, sporting clays, and a visit to the luxury retreat’s “Hobbit Houses.”

Finally, in Westbrook, Maine, Kate Shaffer of Ragged Coast Chocolates shows us what’s involved in making her award-winning confections. She also shares her story of bringing an unexpected dream to life, as she and her husband, despite having no prior candy-making experience, founded their business so they could keep living on the Maine island they had grown to love.
