The Atlanta Botanical Garden lists chef Pamela D. Jones Mack for today’s Garden Chef Demo in the Edible Garden Outdoor Kitchen, with demonstrations at 11:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. The program uses seasonal ingredients and practical recipes. It is an attractive way to get a new food idea without committing to a full cooking class.
Jones Mack grew up in South Carolina’s Gullah region near Charleston. That background gives the demo a particular culinary perspective and a reason to look beyond standard weeknight cooking. The garden’s recipe collection is worth exploring afterward if a dish catches your interest.
The demonstrations take place inside the Botanical Garden, so check the day’s garden admission and whether seats are first-come or reserved. Pair it with a walk through the autumn plantings; the weather is forecast sunny and mild.
