Put
that bird to work! Gerry Klaskala of Aria
finds a tantalizing way to use every part of the affordable bird, and he’s
eager to share his ideas with attendees at a Simple Abundance
cooking class at The Cook’s Warehouse
– Brookhaven on Monday, September 17.
Anyone who has dined at Aria knows
Klaskala’s simple, modern dishes showcase the season’s freshest ingredients.
And comfort food? Klaskala is king of slow food cooking that teases out every drop
of flavor. His menu for the class, also on Facebook,
includes honey- and soy-glazed almond wings, chicken soup with quick noodles,
caramel black pepper drumsticks, coconut, lemongrass and red curry tenderloins,
slow-braised thighs with preserved lemon and green olives, and breast with
sweet garlic and goat cheese.
The demonstration and wine tasting featuring
wines from Sherlock’s Wine Merchant runs from 7 – 9 p.m., costs $55 per person
and benefits the Atlanta Community Food Bank.

I love when my love of eating out has a positive impact on the world – even if it does have negative impact on my waist! This week, the solution to world hunger may venture through the kitchen at the October Terra Madre conference in Turin, Italy, where more than 600 food producers, chefs/cooks and educators from 120 countries will gather there to focus on issues of nutritional concern. Topics will range from biodiversity and sustainability to hunger, water solutions, rural transitions and more.
