A Kapiʻolani<\/span> Community College<\/a> culinary class made up of female inmates at the Women\u2019s Community Correctional Center (WCCC<\/abbr>) in Kailua held their winter banquet celebration on December 6. The class is taught by Chef Lee Shinsato<\/strong>, and the banquet was the students\u2019 midterm examination.<\/p>\n

The menu was created by students in the beginner class. Appetizers began with Albuquerque bean soup and rolled zucchini salad. That was followed by crostini with a choice of creamy pesto, curried chicken, crab salad, spinach artichoke or tomato basil, steamed ginger pork wonton with sesame sundried tomato relish, pan-seared chimichurri chicken breasts and roasted misoyaki swai.<\/p>\n

In the program, women work their way through beginner, intermediate and advanced classes. Once all three levels are complete, students graduate from the culinary program with a certificate from Kapiʻolani<\/span> CC<\/abbr> and earn 14 credits on their University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> transcripts.<\/p>\n

“This culinary program gives the women real-life job skills, but it\u2019s not just about that. It also teaches them teamwork, professionalism and self-esteem,” said WCCC<\/abbr> Warden Eric Tanaka. “I am thankful to Chef Shinsato and Kapiʻolani<\/span> Community College for bringing this program to WCCC<\/abbr> a few years ago, and helping prepare these women for a positive career path once they leave.”<\/p>\n
