Kudos: KCC Culinary Arts Awarded Top Award of Excellence | |
HONOLULU, Hawaii -- On May 11, 2012, Kapiolani Community College's Culinary Arts Department received the Top Award of Excellence from the Hawaii Book Publishers Association's Ka Palapala Pookela Awards in the Cookbook category. The judges praised the A Sweet Dash of Aloha for its departure from the norm in Island cookbooks, saying, “So many locally published cookbooks are mishmash collections of ‘local food’ recipes. A Sweet Dash of Aloha is a refreshing well-focused, well-written cookbook that offers a new angle on local flavors and ingredients, combining simplicity and clarity with a sophisticated understanding of food, nutrition and health.” OFIE would like to give special recognition for Daniel Leung and the Health & Wellness Coordinator for their contributions to this award winning project. They truly exemplify KCC's motto to strive for the highest. Please contact the KCC Culinary Arts Department for a copy of its award winning A Sweet Dash of Aloha: Guilt-Free Hawai‘i Desserts & Snacks. Register Now: Learning Assessment Institute | |
