I just got back from visiting 8 countries in 40 days! It was mostly work, but when you love what you do, it never feels that way. Plus when you surrounded yourself with wonderful people, it’s really a dream come true.
I started out in Italy on a weeklong Culinary Journey to the gorgeous Cinque Terre, Italy with 16 very fun "students". We cooked up a storm, laughed a lot and fell in love with this special little paradise. Then it was off to Spain to meet yet another fabulous group for a Culinary Journey through the amazing La Rioja and Basque Country. We tasted lots of wine, cooked paella outside along the river Oja and visited San Sebastian. Talk about a wine and food-lovers dream destination!
After a brief return home to unpack and pack, I took off again (this time with my production crew and husband Joe by my side) to film while cruising up the Rhine River, from Amsterdam, through Germany, France and to Switzerland! It’s hard to put the experience into words because exploring such beautiful places while cruising on a luxurious river ship simply takes your breath away!
What I cherish most these days are the memories that I share with all of you. There is much to be thankful for and this Thanksgiving, I’m so grateful for you, my friends!
Happy Thanksgiving!!
Love,
