Cinzia Long, one of our longest-serving tour managers, is an accomplished cook who has now launched her own recipe Substack. Substack is a subscription-based platform that allows content creators to publish news, or in this case recipes, directly to their audience. For a small fee you can receive weekly Cinzia’s latest culinary inspirations. Anyone who has hiked with us when Cinzia was the tour manager will know how often she has been asked to share her knowledge and expertise.
Cinzia was born in the tiny village of Valtournenche in Italy’s Aosta Valley and studied Forestry and Environmental Science at the University of Turin. She soon fell into the world of tourism and hospitality and stayed there ever since. She married Englishman, James MacNay, and for many years they lived in Heathfield on the South Coast of England, running a small Deli specialising in cheese, wine and chocolate! Now they have returned to Italy with their family and together are running a business specialising in food and wine trips in the Piedmont region. Each time Cinzia releases a new recipe, James offers a wine match to complement the dish.
