Whitefish and strawberries save tea rooms in Canistie village
Dorothea Nordhoff runs Ye Old Colonial Tea Rooms with help from her brother Bob as hungry county visitors demand real food. Bob improvises a fish and potato dinner with fresh whitefish from Lake Canistie, while Dorothea adds careful service and presentation. The meal convinces guests the tea rooms can compete with hotel dining and boosts the family’s hopes.
