MY New England

Friendsgiving

Yankee Magazine hosted a contemporary take on a New England Thanksgiving featuring the iconic spice blend Bell’s Seasoning and related products at the Inn at Hastings Park in Lexington, MA.

This Thanksgiving among friends celebrated 150 years of Bell’s Seasoning as an iconic, locally made ingredient that is just as at home in your kitchen as it was in your mother’s and grandmother’s before you.

A welcome reception featuring seasonal cocktails and small bites was followed by a tour of the historic property and a Thanksgiving table styling session with Krissy O’Shea of Cottage Farm. Guests enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner in the library of the inn featuring Bell’s products and seasonal desserts. The meal was prepared by Stacy Cogswell, executive chef of the award-winning Artistry on the Green at the Inn at Hastings Park, in collaboration with Amy Traverso, senior food editor of Yankee Magazine. The event and dinner were styled by Krissy O’Shea using a mix of organic, seasonal materials; the paper elements were designed by Sara Fitz Studio of York Harbor, ME; and linens and tableware were provided by Peak Event Services.
