It's no secret that our favorite cook book of the year is Cook Real Hawaii, Sheldon Simeon's tribute to his beloved Hawaii . It's a collection of recipes, born from his own multicultural background and the foods he grew up with on Maui, plus stories he's collected along the way. An awesome Father's Day gift if any of the men in your life love to cook...
And Keaka Lee, owner of Kapa Hale joins us to chat about a culinary journey that's taken him from the Culinary Institute of the Pacific, through stage-internships at Benu in San Francisco, Le Bernardin in New York City, Eleven Madison Park in NYC, & Café Boulud in NYC and from New York City's Gramercy Tavern all the way home to The Pig and The Lady.
His food at Kapa Hale is a celebration of his journey and relationships with local farmers and growers.
Enjoy!
