Iconic New England

Co-hosts Amy Traverso & Richard Wiese reunite for a road trip through the White Mountains of New Hampshire to check out the spectacular fall foliage. Then, we head to Boston for launch day of the city’s Swan Boats, guided by the fourth generation of the family that’s run the business since 1877. Our last stop is at the annual Kneading Conference in Maine, to meet some of the country’s top bakers.

About the Program

Senior food editor Amy Traverso shares the recipes, local flavors and sense of community that make up the fabric of the region’s food and dining scene.
