Once we finally got to our destination, it was all systems to go… into this rather ‘cleverly designed’ kitchen, where this week we were cooking for 50 (I think next week they’re cooking for 80, so I got off lightly)… I’ve not cooked on a winter trip before, just camp cooking (which is always bung it all in a big pot and ladle it out!)…, so I felt this qualified as an extreme sport… and meantime from the windows I could see some beautiful snow!

We did the pizzas early – 16 in total – took quite some time (even once we’d found enough trays!) – great upper arm exercise… and some of that flour did make its way into the pizza….

Just one of the small cooking pots – with John – who loves getting out to ski and often works in an outdoor sports centre too… and really knows how to use “the flavourings” in the kitchen:

It’s important to know the opening times, especially when you might need onions for 50…

Thought I’d add a few more…

Christmas Dinner is almost ready, and hoping that Stephen (green t-shirt) is going to write us some info on bouldering – he’s also a snowboard instructor, so maybe we can get some more info out…

Ben asked me to save some of my Chocolate Torte for him – so I saved him an EXTREMELY large piece – which he didn’t quite finish! Ben had done about 5 days of skiing by the end of two weeks and was doing pretty well…

We like to make cake’s for our guest’s birthdays … and Louis was 7, so John pulled together this design based on a red run down the ‘Eiger’ – Louis loved it!

At the end of the week, everything gets deep cleaned… wondering if Tim was taking cleaning the oven a little too far – that’s a little extreme…

And when all the cleaning is done, we sit down with a breakfast of sausage, bacon, scrambled egg & pancakes.. nice!
