Simple Abundance Cooking Classes are held a few times a year at the Cook’s Warehouse. Proceeds from the participating students support the community food bank.

On July 22, Simple Abundance welcomed Chef Chris Hall, of Muss & Turner’s; Local Three Kitchen Bar & Grill in Atlanta, who demonstrated how to prepare a full course meal that consisted of, White Gazpacho with Crab, Toasted Almonds and Basil. Next, the chef prepared Tybee Island Shrimp with Summer Squash Risotto, Arugula and Tomato Jam; for dessert a Summer Berry Trifle.

The Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) was founded in 1979. It allots food to more than 600 non-profit agencies and serves families and individuals in 29 metro and North Georgia counties. It has been supporting different programs throughout the years. Atlanta’s Table is one of those programs which has operated under the ACFB.

Food distribution is the mission of the food bank. By partnering with the Cook’s Warehouse and Atlanta’s hospitality industry, the agency has adopted a unique way to not only raise funds but to bring the community together and allow them to learn cooking skills from some of the finest chef’s in Atlanta, through the Simple Abundance Cooking Classes. The chef’s selflessly donate his or her time because they support the cause and the mission of the Atlanta Community Food Bank.
