This class will simplify the preparation of seafood from showing you how to choose fresh seafood,

Our Chef for this event is Emmanuel "Manny" Abankroh, Chef de Cuisine of 15 Squares American
Bistro which recently opened in Penn Quarter's Renaissance Washington DC Hotel. Chef Manny

a culinary instructor who created daily fresh feasts for guests and family. His formal culinary
training began in London, England twenty years ago and since that point he has worked in many
notable establishments including the Sheraton Tyson Corner, the Spirit of Washington Cruise
lines and Marriott International. 15 Squares American Bistro at Renaissance Washington DC Hotel
specializes in the rich food culture of the mid-Atlantic region. Included with this event is a wine
tasting of French wines with Charlie Adler, President of TasteDC, and all wines will be paired with
the Lunch served after the cooking class. Typed Recipes are included as well.

This will be the very first Meetup for The Alexandria Cooking And Recipes Meetup Group!

We'll use the time to get to know each other, talk about being Cooks, and discuss what we want out of our Meetups.

OK folks. I keep seeing people express interest in a cooking group but no one has stepped up to the plate and take the risk to organize a get together. Well, I'm trying now. I know it can be a scary prospect - all those STRANGERS! Even so, I've put my neck out to give it a try because I like cooking (would like to be better at it) and if I happen to make a friend or two in the process so much the better. Point is .... Come out. Take the chance. We just might have a lot of fun and learn a whole bunch of really good things about cooking. Bon Appetit! Hope to see you attend.
