With the summer barge season finished aboard Finesse it’s time to think about the five months before the Finesse starts cruising again in the spring.

I will be heading back to Courchevel again for the winter, back to old friends, but a new chalet called Dulcis Casu in Courchevel Le Praz.

.

A luxury ski chalet in the heart of little French village, the most French of the Courchevel resorts, run by my friends alpine-escape.co.uk.

Through the winter months I will post some recipes, articles & food pictures from the chalet.
