Before her famous novels, Wharton wrote books on design and gardening and loved to entertain.

    The most fascinating part by far was the history and background of Edith Wharton herself and how her incredible talents were highlighted and showcased by the director of The Mount.

    where are the recipes? I’d like to see the one ofr the Three P’s… the internet has so many DIFFERENT options… dill or sweet pickels, salted or unsalted peanuts… they use mayo. I can’t find one with a lemon vinagrette.

    I also would like all these recipes from Edith Wharton’s Episode 207. How do we get them?

  24. Suzy says:

    the 3 p’s were peas, peanuts and pickles – seems like she said tart – so probably dill,
    served with a lemon vinaigrette dressing
    guess with those easy ingredients we should be able to just add each until you get the blend you like

  25. Nanc;y Ellis says:

    Could you please send me or tell me where to find the recipe for the pound cake dessert shown in this episode? It looks like the closest thing I’ve seen to my grandmother’s old family recipe which has been lost. Thanks very much.
