Venus in Easthampton sounds like a must-try. I was sorry to see Gourmet magazine go. Reading one of the last few issues, it occurred to me that the recipes hadn't adapted well to new ways of life - I would tend more to pull a tasty and not quite so time-consuming recipe from Real Simple, Cooking Light or another less haute journal. Busy lives and limited time for gathering ingredients and cooking for hours may have contributed to the end of Gourmet. Thanks for a great summary! Venus in Easthampton sounds like a must-try.
