It felt like enjoying a delightful home-cooked French meal, complete with wine, alongside new friends in Ann and Rick's beautiful Dana Point home. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, engaging, and fun. Participating in the preparation of the impressive French meal, with recipes to take home, made the experience even better.
