A big thank you to Amy Fothergill for a great day in Half Moon Bay! We had 15 Cornellians join this cooking class where Amy showed the group how to create an amazing meal using fresh local produce from the Half Moon Bay Farmer's Market (followed by a refreshing coastal walk along the beautiful Pacific). And thank you to all our Cornellian friends who joined us for the event. Great times had by all!
