Equinox greetings to you! Fall is upon us as the weather has cooled here in the Berner Oberland and the trees have just been touched with bits of yellow and gold promising a lovely display in the weeks to come. There has been ample rain so the trees are not stressed. I have great hopes for good color!
But pizza is the topic today. We have revived the Pizza Venerdi (Pizza Friday) tradition of our days in Rome for the past five Fridays. While we are not in Italy, all five have been superior to the pizza we get near our home, but then the pizzaioli are from Italy and know what they are doing.
Pizza for two and a bottle of Italian wine on a pedestrian alley in Annecy, France.I ragazzi (the guys) in the kitchen at Sapaudia, Annecy, France. In Kandersteg we enjoyed pizza at the Chalet Hotel Adler. Third year we’ve had their pizza and it is excellent thanks to the Italian cooks. Our friends Gene and Cathy journeyed over from Lauterbrunnen to join us for pizza, beer, and a walk in the Kandersteg Valley on a very warm afternoon.My son called this a crime against humanity. I discovered pizza with salmon when we lived in Italy and I get it whenever I am able.It’s best with Gorgonzola and arugula but the mascarpone, capers, and onions were nice, too. In Pontresina at Nostra Pizzeria.
Last night we welcomed our dear friends John & Janet to Lauterbrunnen and took them up the mountain by train to dinner in Wengen at Maya Caprice. A good time was had by all.
Pizza Maya from Maya Caprice. Spicy salami, Gorgonzola, and red onions. The crust was perfection!
We have three more times to celebrate Pizza Venerdi here in Switzerland. Stay tuned!
