    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.

  20. Linda Stinnett says:

    I too am interested in the Pea Salad recipe and the Lemon Pound Cake. Can you email them or give a site where they can be found?

  21. Toni Sampson says:

    I loved the program & really would like the recipe for the 3 pea salad as well as the recipes for the pound cake & jams or/ jellies. Please let me know where I can get copies of them. Thnank you in advance.

  22. Peggy says:

    I would like to have the recipies also. How can I get them?

  23. Judith says:

    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:

    Would appreciate link to the 3 P salad

  26. Colleen Smith says:
