Cook the Book: The Saltwater Table — An Intimate Coastal Dinner with Chef Whitney Otawka

Step into an intimate evening with Chef Whitney Otawka, where coastal Georgia flavors come to life through hands-on cooking, storytelling, and a shared table.

Whitney—Top Chef contestant and former Executive Chef of the Greyfield Inn on Cumberland Island—will guide you through a multi-course menu from her cookbook, The Saltwater Table, known for its refined, ingredient-driven approach to Southern coastal cuisine.
