A cook's dream vacation


This month's issue of Food & Wine has a feature on Hidden Pond in Kennebunk, Maine, which sounds like a dream vacation for any foodie. Enjoy cooking in a well stocked kitchen? Well, this place is perfect. Not only is every cottage equipped with a ridiculous kitchen fit for a top chef, but you can submit a list of groceries you'd like, and nearly everything you order is fresh from someone's farm or the farmers market. And, if you want even fresher veggies? Step outside into the 800 square foot organic garden blooming with fresh herbs, vegetables, and tons of potential. What's even better? Guests can take advantage of the garden whenever they want and as much as they want, free.

"For breakfast, we relied on the canvas bag hung every morning on a little hook inside our screened-in porch. It held a baguette, blueberry muffins and coffee cake (all baked on the premises), a Thermos of coffee, fresh-squeezed orange juice and the New York Times. We ate on the porch and played Monopoly. I found myself too relaxed to try the daily yoga class at Hidden Pond�s lodge�too relaxed, even, to schedule a massage at the spa tent."
