Cooking Classes in Oahu or Maui

[sandralynn]

I will be traveling to Oahu and Maui next summer (ok I am a planner) and would like to take a local cooking class or two. I don't know if any cooking shops or restaurants have one. I am looking for a one session class. Any recommendations will be appreciate.

I can't personally recommend this organization as I haven't personally tried it yet, but they do feature some well respected local chefs for their classes; I noticed they haven't posted dates for '09, but might be worth a call. Enjoy your trip to Hawaii!!

check the websites for the newspapers - Honolulu Star Bulletin and Honolulu Advertiser - they both do food sections on Wednesdays, and list events, markets, classes, etc.

Definitely check out the non-credit cooking classes at KCC (Kapiolani Community College, right next to Diamond Head). They don't have the listing for next summer, but you can get a preview here: http://programs.kcc.hawaii.edu/~conti...

Thanks so much for all of the ideas. You are all so kind to assist me! Sandy

just want to second the KCC classes. Lots of variety and excellent instruction, each instructor with their own personality.

It's good you are a planner, Sandra Lynn, because the classes fill up FAST. so check in next spring for the summer schedule and call.
