Culinary Institute

 

Become the next big chef on the cooking scene! At Pali's Culinary Institute, our executive chef and team of culinary experts will inspire your imagination and encourage your creativity as you create tasty delights, sumptuous delicacies and extraordinary dishes representing the finest cuisine from around the world!

From appetizers to soups and salads and from entrees to desserts, you will learn the skills and secrets passed down generation to generation by top chefs across the globe. Together with your team you will prepare up to ten other dishes, including Polynesian meatballs, panko-crusted vegetables with teriyaki dipping sauce, five cheese corn quesadilla, and chocolate fondue with a variety of dippers, cakes, and fruits!

Each week at the Culinary Institute has a theme including: Southern Buffet, Mediterranean Nights, Mexican Fiesta, Sports Party Madness, Chinese Banquet, Thanksgiving Dinner and Classic Sunday Brunch.

During the Football/Sports theme, for example, you'll learn how to make chicken wings, BBQ ribs, tri-tip, and an array of appetizers culminating in the Super Bowl Madness Party.

Through the themes you will master a variety of cooking styles and techniques, all leading up to a magnificent banquet you will create, serve and enjoy together. Bon appetit!
