A Message from Stephen...
Hi, I'm Stephen, I'm retired a actor and teacher from the UK who is attempting to escape from Brexit to my haven in the woods of Piemonte. I love the quiet life with my dog Billy, who is a friendly, furry and energetic border collie/German shepherd cross. I love cooking Italian dishes on my wood burning stove or 'stufa', using wood gathered from my land. I am very impressed by the high quality local and seasonal produce in Italy, allowing me to create the flavours of the local cuisine. The excellent local red wine: Barbera D'Asti is readily available in the area, and I have secured mutually beneficial relationships with local winemakers, and there's little I enjoy more than pairing all their wines - including an excellent Chardonnay with the food I cook. Sharing good food and wine with good people is, I believe, one of the greatest pleasures in life. Obviously I love theatre and cinema, and I'm mad about music too!.
