Cooking for Solutions: In Monterey Bay Aquarium's 8th annual two-day culinary and wine event, chefs, winemakers, and educators focus on seafood and other foods that are good for the planet. Alton Brown of the Food Network, Thomas Keller of The French Laundry in the Napa Valley and Per Se in New York, Floyd Cardoz of Tabla in New York, and Jim Dodge, pastry chef and author, and others will have demonstrations. Chefs will lead sustainable culinary tours to farms and restaurants and four of them will compete in a seafood challenge using sustainable species. The public is invited to a food fair Saturday to learn about sustainable seafood and winemaking and to sample dishes. Costs range from $60 to $275. The food fair is included with cost of aquarium admission; a deluxe Food & Wine Adventures package is $850.
