Mare a Montagna Italia 2018

“Our trip to Puglia and the Dolomites with Christine was truly inspirational. Her knowledge and many contacts gave us insight into the daily life and joy of Italian regional food and traditions. We met growers and producers and cooked in beautiful Masseria kitchens. We stayed in amazing places and enjoyed meeting local people. We had experiences we wouldn’t have had if we’d travelled on our own. All this made possible by Christine’s culinary knowledge and her wonderful sense of adventure!’”
