About The Food Society
The Food Society is an Atlanta cooking community built on one idea: food brings people together. It runs live cooking classes taught by chefs, and its mailing list announces new online classes. The tone is relaxed on purpose. The team says it is tired of arrogant chefs and reality-TV sideshows. It calls its classes informative, gently educational and comfortably casual. Perfection is not the goal.
The group is drawn to cross-cultural cooking and the places where cuisines meet. Chef Chris Atwood trained in Italy and works as a travel writer, Italian cooking instructor and bilingual tour escort. He has led a small-group food trip to Puglia and Matera with Italy with Class. The trip included an olive oil farm visit, burrata tastings with cheesemakers and pasta making with a local cook.
The Food Society has a 5-star Google rating from 13 reviews. Sign up for its updates to hear about new classes, free recipes and trips. It suits curious home cooks who want a friendly guide rather than a lecture.
