Giving Back

StarChefs.com is proud to partner with the Culinary Institute of the Pacific at Kapi'olani Community College. CIP provides students a solid kitchen foundation through hands-on learning and coursework that blends classical techniques with the global influences of Hawaii's singular heritage and pantry.

Students gain hands-on experience working at three on-campus restaurants plus four additional culinary/pastry labs, including sustainability-minded 220 Grille. And CIP's progressive curriculum more than nods to sustainability; its program includes aquaponic gardening, composting, recycling, and running a weekly farmers market, giving students the tools they need to build their own culinary futures, along with the future of Hawaiian cuisine.
A portion of the evening's proceeds will go to fund the capital campaign for the new facility at the Culinary Institute of the Pacific at Diamond Head. In addition, to the CIP at KCC.
