A rich, wonderful meal all with a bit of bread, there is nothing quite like classic Dutch Mustard Soup. Unable to find a traditional recipe, we made up our own and hope that you enjoy its tangy bite and creamy texture. (We bring home real Groningen Mustard from Abraham's Mustard Mill but you can also purchase good Dutch mustard, De Echte Zaanse Mosterd, from The Dutch Epicure at www.dutchepicure.com.) Of course, it is wonderful if you like to make your own mustard from mustard seed. Eet smakelijk!

Located on a 40-acre peninsula, this 1875 gabled Victorian mansion is perched on a sunny bluff over Narragansett Bay. The Inn’s chefs artfully craft seasonal dinner and tasting menus from the finest regional produce, fish and meats. Each inspired course is a unique, sensory feast. We also adored the wild Alaskan king salmon filet, grilled with pan roasted green cabbage, sweet sausage and fingerling potatoes with a Pinot Noir beurre rouge. -

- At a New Haven Arts & Ideas Festival concert on the green, my friend Ellen made an amazing potato salad with fresh Dill, sliced Radishes, chopped green Onions and Hellmann’s mayonnaise (our favorite when homemade is simply not possible). The addition of Radishes was stunningly flavorful, causing us to look at potato salad in a completely different light.
