Winter in New England

This week, host Richard Wiese embarks on a winter adventure with Registered Maine Guide Polly Mahoney and her Yukon huskies. In Massachusetts, host and Yankee senior editor Amy Traverso meets up with food writer David Leite at Fall River’s Portugalia market to make Portuguese clams & sausage. In Maine, we explore an increasingly popular part of the state’s winter outdoor scene: fat-tire biking.

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.
