“I didn’t know what to expect, as I was greeted by a gentle breeze flowing down the mountain, echoing through the wind chimes, I knew it was going to be the most tranquil and peaceful weekend away…  I have never been so surprised at a result, I walked away from that weekend enlightened with so many different techniques and combinations that make mouth-watering meals.”  (KdT)
