These series of classes are designed for those of you who are interested in learning proper cooking or baking techniques and skills. Classes are held in the culinary arts laboratories and lecture rooms. In most cases, you have the opportunity to prepare and produce certain foods, sample, and discuss methods and techniques with the chef instructor. The culinary series are modular. This means you may pick and choose classes that fit your personal interests. In order to ensure individual attention and safety, class enrollment is limited. To enroll, please call 808-734-9211.

Dress Code: As a safety precaution, participants in all culinary classes are encouraged to wear covered, non-slip shoes (e.g. tennis shoes) and comfortable slacks. Aprons or any other personal items may also be brought to class. The college, however, will not be held responsible, if such items are lost or stolen.
