Ecco’s Executive Chef Teaches Cooking Class to Benefit Atlanta Food Bank
On May 21, from 7 to 9 p.m., Ecco’s Executive Chef, David Bradley, will take his talent for preparing fresh seafood and use it to show wannabe chefs how to prepare high-quality shrimp. In this class, Bradley will show participants how to use all parts of the shrimp—including head, tail and shell—to create the following dishes: coctel de mariscos, a guerrero-style seafood cocktail with citrus; shrimp bisque with tarragon shrimp dumplings; and shrimp toast with coriander and tarragon. The evening includes wine tastings and a chance to win door prizes. The class costs $55 per person.
This class is part of the Atlanta Community Food Bank’s Simple Abundance Cooking Class series that provides the community with the opportunity to interact with Atlanta’s top chefs, learn the secrets of exquisite dishes and help feed Atlanta’s hungry.
