As usual, I have been very sporadic (ok, absent) about posting. That was due to an extremely busy summer, which led in to a crazy fall, both professionally and personally.
Every single client I had the pleasure to work with this year was fabulous; interesting, curious, energetic and up for anything. I had 2 sets of newlyweds, photographers, hikers, food and wine professionals as well as many other wonderful guests who became new friends. It's always so much fun to take people off the beaten paths (literally here in the Cinque Terre) and show them 'my' world and help them catch a glimpse of the real 5T.
I was very fortunate to be able to work on a project in the Cinque Terre with Pamela Sheldon Johns (www.foodartisans.com) in which we were featured in the August 2009 issue of Cooking Light magazine. It is always a wonderful learning experience to be able to work with Pamela as well as a whole lot of fun!2009 was also the year that the Slow Food (www.slowfood.com) organization which is based in Italy hosted its biennial food fairs Slowfish (which centers around education regarding sustainable fishing and fish-eating practices) in April and Cheese! (which is a celebration of cheeses, mainly artisan, from around the world) in October. I attended both with clients and they were both a blast. 2010 will be the year of Slow Food's Salone del Gusto. It will be in October and I highly recommend going.
So now I'm back on the computer and will be here 'til March when things pick up again. I'll try and become a bit more regular about posting.... We'll see.
