Kitchen Road Trip: Vermont

Kitchen Road Trip: A Vermont gift guide // Feast + West

Soft, fluffy, buttermilk pancakes. Farm-fresh butter. Blueberry compote. Warm, sugary maple syrup. A side of maple-bacon and a steaming cup of joe. That’s what I think of when I think of Vermont. My dad and I stayed in this adorable bed & breakfast in historic Woodstock where we ate all of the above. It was amazing enough to try to replicate it sometime, but I’m afraid it wouldn’t be the same — the maple syrup tasted so fresh and perfect. It’ll have to live on in my memories forever.

This Vermont gift guide has a lot of reminders of that trip for me. Fresh Vermont cheese, grade A maple syrup and handmade items for your kitchen. When I was in Vermont, I couldn’t help but think it would be the ideal place to spend a winter writing a novel by the fire. Doesn’t that sound amazing? Any of these items would make such a stay even better. And if you need a boozy, Vermont-inspired libation to go along with your writing retreat, this Maple Bourbon Milkshake is definitely the ticket. // susannah
