KHS Culinary Arts Program Serves the Market

Mākeke Kapolei is proud to partner with the culinary arts program of Kapolei High School.  You might see the students selling “one-bowl” meals at the market for a reasonable price. Led by teacher Cynthia Pratt, the program has had a number of noteworthy successes through cooking competitions (just like “Iron Chef”), as well as producing a cookbook called “From the Heart of Hawaii’s Families” with more than 180 recipes that focus on how Hawaii’s families weather challenging, difficult times and how they celebrate happy times. As of March 2012, over 1,200 cookbooks have been sold with 300 remaining. If you’d like a copy, please pick up a copy at the PCNC office at Kapolei High between 8 am and 4 pm ($15 cash, check or money order accepted) or send a check made out to “From the Heart of Hawaii’s Families” for $18 (book plus $3 postage) and mail to Kapolei High School, 91-5007 Kapolei Parkway, Kapolei, HI. Proceeds benefit Kapiʻolani Medical Center for Women & Children to expand/renovate its neonatal facilities.
