Jess will cover easy to grow local food crops: taro, coconut, sweet potato, pumpkin, papaya, banana and more, as well as local proteins: Fish and Wild Boar! She will also teach some traditional Hawaiian cooking techniques: imu/steaming, salt curing, and fermentation/preservation.
Bio: Jess graduated from Le Cordon Bleu in Dallas TX 11 years ago. Since then she has been cooking professionally from the top restaurants in San Francisco to the mom and pop shops of Hilo, event catering, farmers markets, private chefing, and most recently hosting Farm-to-Table gatherings. She loves to share her passion and deep understanding of local food from this land we love so dearly.
