“We had a great time with our chefs and the other guests. The market was colorful and engaging. I was grateful the market vendor prepared the squid for us. I did that once 40 years ago and I had hoped it would be a last time, thankfully it was. When we got to the kitchen we all got busy chopping, stirring, drinking sangria and eating. We love to cook so this was incredibly fun for us.”
