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.

Loved the Edith Wharton segment. I had the pleasure of visiting the Mont three years ago and your show was truly superb. Would you please provide a link to the picnic recipes? Thanks again!

I love Bill’s show. The episode on The Mount was particularly interesting and I will now make a point of going to visit this extraordinary home of Edith Wharton. Also, I must say I, too, would love those recipes of the foods featured in this show. Thanks! DD.

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.
