Diavolezza

Its been such a long time since I wrote something. I have been tied up with so many things, home, kids, M has her final year in school and plus me trying to organise some events. It sure takes a lot of time but is very fulfilling and satisfying for me. I like it when I don't how much time to think, well........most of the time. Then one day.......I sit back with a hot chai and rewind my past weeks and days and enjoy the little things I have achieved.

Last week I had the opportunity to Cook Indian with some professional Italian Chefs in a Restaurant at 3,000 mts high in the middle of the Swiss Alps or as Eric has said to be more precise 2978 mts, the Swiss precise way! Diavolezza is a mountain in the region Graubünden in the area of Pontresina. Diavolezza is one of the famous Ski resorts in the area. There is this restaurant cum Hotel Berghaus Diavolezza where I visited.



It was Silvia`s (Hotel Managerin) idea to do some Indian cooking lessons there as now-a-days there are herds of Indian tourists coming up there and as you can see on this page http://www.diavolezza.ch/ there is only this Hotel cum Restaurant there. And if you know anything about Indian vegetarians it has got to be their way or no way. I told Silvia besides the point of serving them vegetarian food for business reasons its the good Karma that counts for me. Tell me who can give you a plate of Dal-Chawal at 2978 mts, even if you hand over a fortune. But Swiss tourist friendly people do that. I am so looking forward for her feedback on how it is going with the Indian Thali up there.
