Enjoy a lavish gala benefiting the Kauai Community College Culinary Arts Program. Pa`ina promises an evening of gastronomical delights featuring some of the mainland and Hawaii’s finest women chefs, perfectly paired wines, live music, and a silent auction.
“Culinary arts is a field where women have made extraordinary contributions, yet are often underrepresented,” said Mark Oyama, KCC Culinary Arts Chef Instructor. “We are incredibly proud to bring an all-female lineup to the forefront this year, not only to celebrate their talents but also to inspire the next generation of women chefs.”

A portion of the funds raised at the Gala help with the continued development of KCC’s Culinary Arts Program by providing financial assistance for students in need. The Program trains approximately 30-40 students a year and many of the graduates go on to find jobs in the local culinary industry.
