Culinary Workshop for School Food Service Professionals

Kona Pacific Public Charter School 79-7595 Mamalahoa Hwy, Kealakekua, HI, United States

Thursday, July 24, 2014 - Cooking delicious, healthy meals based on whole foods while staying within budget is a big task, and we’d like to help!

Eighteen months ago, Kona Pacific switched over to all-scratch cooking, using whole foods and no added refined flours or sugars, while reducing food costs 30%. We did it with the help of Carleton Gillenwater, expert food service culinary planner and chef. Carleton will present a workshop for culinary staff, presenting simple steps and a roadmap so that every school can make the switch.

In a 7-minute walk from the truck up above, you descend into a native wet forest, with a flowing stream, and birds singing. It is beautiful.
