Mālama Learning Center will hold our 2016 culinary fundraising event, Calabash & Cooks, on Saturday, March 12 at Kapolei High School. In addition to featuring professional chefs from award-winning Roy’s Ko Olina and Firehouse, this year’s event is also making students the chef de cuisine. More than 30 student chefs from six public high schools – Campbell, Kapolei, Moanalua, Radford, Waiʻanae, and Waipahu – will all prepare at least one dish for guests to enjoy.
Some of this year’s featured dishes include Campbell High’s signature appetizer: Kalua pork won tons with island style salsa and Kapolei High’s award-winning pineapple-banana-lilikoi cobbler with ice cream. Every dish will have at least four to six locally grown or sourced ingredients.
Student chefs will also compete in an ‘ahi bowl best recipe contest sponsored by the Pacific Islands Fisheries Group. Their creations will be exhibited and reviewed at the event by the panel of judges. We can’t wait to see what they come up with!
This will be a fun evening for the community to come together to celebrate all the cultures that make up the “melting pot” of Hawai’i! Visit our Country Store for one-of-a-kind locally made goodies, or bid on that special item in our silent auction. Kapolei High School students will be involved in just about every aspect of the program, gaining real-life experience that will prepare them for life after high school.
Proceeds from Calabash & Cooks will benefit the Mālama Learning Center and our mission to teach and inspire communities to create healthy living environments. Mālama Learning Center works to unify area schools, residents, and businesses around a shared ethic of caring and conservation. This inspiration comes from the belief that we need to care for Hawai‘i so that it is worthy for future generations to live in and enjoy with its natural beauty and diversity.
