December Casa Chiesi Market Preview
Finally now that the sun has decided to come back into our lives after a horrendous week of rains and more flooding we can start planning for December. Betti is currently away at her week long meditation retreat close to Padova and I am stuck working out my currently client deadlines! (Everybody wants their web sites online by the Holidays don’t ask me why!)
Next month we are planning on a couple of Google Hangout on Air Events (remember you can also watch these on our YouTube Channel over here) revolving around Food and the Italian Christmas spirit.
Here is a hint of what we have in store for December:

About Chef Dennis Littley:
Hi, I’m Chef Dennis. I fell in love with food at an early age, and realized that there couldn’t be a better way to make a living than by making people happy through food. Join me on my Culinary Journey as I share my recipes and stories from my life, with a sprinkling of advice about Google Plus. I began blogging in 2009 as a resource for my culinary students, and soon found myself with followers from around the world, at which time I adopted my “real food recipes for real people” philosophy for cooking. Which was followed with the “In My Restaurant Kitchen Series” where I teach how to make restaurant style dishes in the comfort of your own home at a fraction of the cost of eating out. In 2011 I was awarded “Most Valuable Foodie” by the food blogging community at Foodbuzz, for the work I had done in the community. And I have continued that work by becoming a Social Media Specialist and establishing myself as an Influencer on Google Plus as one of Google’s premier chefs and food bloggers. – See more at:http://www.askchefdennis.com/

Casa Chiesi Business Cards!
We got our brand new business cards!!! Yeah!
Genoa Flash Flood : Stuck again!
Last night was quite a rough one here in Genoa. As you probably know I work as a consultant for a studio in Genoa which involves designing Cruise Ships since 1992. Back in 2011 on the day of my birthday a flash flood ran through the city creating havoc and blocking all transport in and out of the city. I was lucky enough to catch the last train to Milan but it took 6 hours to get back home (this usually is a 2 hour trip). Obviously it was a mess with my wife waiting to celebrate my birthday but having to delay stuff.
Here is a video that highlights the extent of what that was like:
Well now I am stuck again! Last night a flash flood covered the city again. To play it on the safe side I have taken the day off and laying low here in Camogli since they are expecting another huge storm to hit the city during the day.
On now on to some pretty impressive footage from last night:
Will try to re-enter Milan tomorrow by car! Let’s see how that goes!

Parma lunch break!
Last week we were in Parma visiting and preparing new material for Casa Chiesi (nice stuff I must add) and I must add that with the beauty of this great city…the food is to die for! Since we did not have much time to enjoy a nice restaurant I decided to hit the local cold cuts supplier! Check out this small video teaser….Food porn at it’s best!
Camogli: How I love thee
If you ask any Italian from the north of Italy were Camogli is you’ll receive as an answer a languid sigh “ ah, Camogli !”. I was lucky enough to have a father that grew there and a mother that used to go on holiday in the same place back in the late forties.
Three are the highlights of this landscape piece of art: Panavision sunsets, irresistible focaccia’s and a fakir big stones beach that keep away the unmotivated visitors. I sometimes know tourists routes work like our synapses (preferring to follow known paths) and most of the American traveler tend to go to Le 5 Terre but make the effort to change the trend and have a look to this perfectly preserved Ligurian corner.
