COURTESY LEEWARD COMMUNITY COLLEGE
A ricotta and mascarpone tart with oranges and chocolate was on the dessert menu at the Pearl in September.
The student-run restaurants at Kapiolani and Leeward community colleges offer upscale yet economical dining experiences as they provide training for the next generation of Hawaii’s chefs and restaurant managers.
We salute the ambitions of the students and the dedication of their teachers.
