Huts and Yurts :: Recipes

One of the best aspects of hut/yurt living is the ability to enjoy fantastic meals after a day spent recreating in the stunning landscape surrounding our six different locations. Our kitchens are fully equipped so you only have to bring your ingredients! Here is a great vegetarian recipe from Deborah Madison’s, Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, cookbook that’ll pack in some protein thanks to the quinoa; always great to help your tired ski legs recover.
