Out with 2015 and Benvenuto 2016

Part of our Bella Baita view
Greetings from the Italian Alps. 
2015 is rapidly coming to a close and 2016 is not far ahead. We' re happy to say that we've had a superb year here at Bella Baita. After a couple of quieter years, it seems people decided to move around for their holidays this  summer and we were delighted that many decided to come our way.

We enjoyed  "Cooking Together"  with some of our guests, as we offer cooking lessons for everyone. and we always enjoy our forays to the Pinerolo market on Wednesday or Saturday, when we aren't foraging from our garden.

Some things I made


Garden gifts

Cutting Parmigiano cheese to order. 
We also had some folks that enjoyed learning about our local wines while they sipped and sample the local wine whilst learning about our traditions here.
Wine tasting in the garden
There were walk ins in the mountains, excursions out and about, meals together in the evenings and making new friends and in some cases reuniting with old friends. All in all it is good to be here in the mountains and be able to open our home, share our cuisine, wine, neighborhood, culture and passion for Piedmont with all whom stop in. We hope that your coming year is a blessed one and perhaps you might come and visit with us and share in some of our adventures this coming 2016. 
I've listed a few links below to some other articles I have written about other things there are to do in the area that you might find of interest. 
Happy reading and exploring our Piemonte mountains here in Val Chisone.
Happy New Year to all our friends and all our friends we haven't met yet.
