This hands-on cooking class showcases the historical and cultural significance of 4 much-loved dishes enjoyed by Hawaii's locals. You get hands-on training from a professional, local chef. Guests learn to cut fresh fish for poke, make perfect rice, and balance flavors for four local sauces. We discuss the important differences between local dishes and Hawaiian dishes.

Corner Store Menu - Kauai Style Musubi (Vegetarian Option) - Somen Salad (Pescatarian/Vegetarian) - Ahi Poke Bowls (Pescatarian) - Mochi (Vegetarian) All the needed ingredients, recipes, and tools will be prepared so we may dive in for a few hours of culinary joy, learning, and tasting. At the end of class, guests will enjoy an authentic Kauai meal made with their own hands and new friends. In true local style, no one will leave hungry! Our 1/3 acre homestead is located on Kauai's sunny South Shore, just ten minutes from Koloa and Poipu. The tropical property is surrounded by lychee, avocado, orange, citrus, and banana trees. We want our guests to depart with new friends, a further understanding of Hawaii's cultures, and the confidence to make the same dishes at home.

Fantastic class!

Fabulous experience with Aletha and our class of 10 participants! The array and recipes and the timing of each steps was well-planned and delicious. Aletha ensured everyone was able to participate as much as they wished (e.g. no raw fish cutting for the vegetarian!) and everyone felt involved and excited to learn. I’m a total convert to spam musubi. Highly recommend!!

Amazing experience, the atmosphere was amazing and so was the chef. If you are looking to learn a new dish and enjoy some great stories and history while eating the amazing food you just made this is definitely the experience you want to book. Thank you for a great meal and some amazing memories we can’t wait to go back home and try these recipes out again.

Most try cooking local experience

We had the most amazing time at our cooking class! It was my 13 year old son’s first time taking a cooking class. He absolutely loved it. Aletha is a warm, patient, and kind chef and welcoming hostess. The food was delicious. Recipes easy to follow, most importantly, stories and customs that accompany them. My favorite part of traveling is immersing myself in local customs and trying to learn about communities, whether it be through cooking, local dances, calligraphy, pottery, etc. Sign up for...read more
