weekends with yankee

In this episode of Weekends with Yankee, we celebrate Italian food and heritage as Co-host Amy Traverso gets an insider's tour of Boston with rising star chef Douglass Williams. This includes a stop at One Mighty Mill in Lynn, where they source organic stone-ground flour, then it's off to The Urban Grape to select the perfect bottle of wine to accompany the delicious cacio e pepe gnocchi that chef Douglass will be making at his restaurant, MIDA. Traveling north to Vermont's Green Mountains, Co-host Richard Weise explores the little-known world of jack jumping, an unusual winter sport that involves sledding down a mountain while sitting on a single ski. Back in her kitchen, Amy whips up one of her own Italian dishes, a family favorite, Spinach and Ricotta Dumplings, also known as Malfatti.

About Weekends with Yankee:

WEEKENDS WITH YANKEE is a 13-part travel and lifestyle series named for the long-running publication enjoyed by readers across America for more than 80 years.

With New England among the nation's top tourist destinations, the magazine-style program takes viewers on an insider's exploration of the cities, countryside locales and far-flung places in the quaint and scenic region.

The series is hosted by Richard Wiese, (Born to Explore) , an Emmy Award-winning TV personality, author and explorer who has traveled to all seven continents, participated in two expeditions to Antarctica, and cross-country skied to the North Pole.

Amy Traverso, a senior food editor at Yankee magazine who has appeared on The Martha Stewart Show and the Food Network's Throwdown with Bobby Flay, joins Richard as co-host.

She highlights recipes, local flavors and the sense of community that make up the regions' food and dining scene.

WEEKENDS WITH YANKEE offers an "all-access" behind-the-scenes pass to the unique attractions that define the region, and the hidden New England that only locals know.
