From the moment we arrived we were treated as special guests in her beautiful home! Easy conversation and delicious food were in abundance. Chef Mary Jane taught us how to make a complete meal from appetizer to dessert, showing us that what we thought "might be difficult" was really not that hard to do at all! We highly recommend this as a date night activity!
