 | Although the food and way of life I have enjoyed in these weeks were those of Lugano and the Costa Smeralda, you can live and eat this way in many parts of the world: in warmer climates for much of the year, while in colder places it is great for those warm summer days. Sydney, like many other places in the world, has an excellent climate for my favorite al fresco life. At home in Sydney we have a large pergola attached to the house so we can live al fresco as often as possible. Under the pergola are two large outdoor tables and benches. I like nothing better than to prepare a Sunday lunch for my family and friends which can be spread the length of the tables in this idyllic setting. It is our equivilent to the roof terrace in Sardegna, the olive tree in Lugano or the walled garden in Tehran.... |  |
