(Oahu)– On Friday afternoon, Four Seasons celebrity Chef Simeon Hall Jr. inspired and wowed young minds from Campbell High School’s Culinary Department taught by Mrs. Morihara.
At Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina, Chef Simeon Hall Jr. brings island to table family style with locally sourced produce and dishes that showcase the bounty of the island in innovative ways at La Hiki Kitchen. Techniques such as canning, preserving and smoking accompany succulent preparations with deep, well-developed flavors that locals will love.
During the class, chef Simeon spoke to students and motivated them to pursue a career in the culinary arts.
True to his form of always making everyone included, chef Simeon required every student in the class to cook, plate and enjoy their very own dish creation with carrots Simeon harvested Friday morning from Waianae’s Kahumana Farms.
Many students after the cooking demo expressed to chef their desire to one day become a chef or desire to be involved in the culinary arts.
