Monterey Bay Aquarium honors AB with educator of the year 2009
Great chefs, culinary gala, tours put Renowned chefs from across North America, including The French Laundry’s Thomas Keller and Food Network all-star Alton Brown will share their passion for fine dining and environmentally sustainable living when they’re honored at the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s "Cooking for Solutions 2009" on May 15-16, 2009. At the two-day celebration, celebrity chefs – selected and recognized by the Monterey Bay Aquarium for their leadership in promoting food practices that protect the health of the ocean and the soil – will create gourmet dishes, host food and wine adventures, and offer cooking demonstrations that feature sustainable seafood and organic ingredients. All proceeds support the nonprofit aquarium’s Seafood Watch program, which has worked for the past decade to transform the seafood market in ways that preserve healthy ecosystems and sustain ocean wildlife. Title sponsors of "Cooking for Solutions 2009" are Bon Appétit Management Company, an award-winning food service company recognized internationally as a leader in promoting sustainable cuisine; and Coastal Living, a national magazine that celebrates life along the coast and serves as the source of inspiration and information for people who live or dream of living a coastal lifestyle. "Cooking for Solutions 2009" is part of the aquarium’s 25th anniversary celebration. Monterey Bay Aquarium opened on October 20, 1984 with a mission to inspire conservation of the oceans. Thomas Keller, chef/owner of The French Laundry in Yountville, California and one of the most respected and honored chefs in the United States, will receive the Conservation Leadership Award – Chef of the Year at the eighth annual "Cooking for Solutions" celebration. A leading advocate of sustainable seafood and building menus around local, organic ingredients, he’ll be honored along with Educator of the Year Alton Brown – chef, author and host of Food Network’s Good Eats program, and a lead commentator and judge on Iron Chef America. Thirteen other noted chefs from across the United States and Canada will also receive honors. ... |
