The executive chef at the Mauna Lani resort’s CanoeHouse is taking on one of the biggest creative challenges of her career as she competes with other high-level chefs in Season 23 of the popular national television show.

The Hawaiʻi Ag & Culinary Alliance program is a partnership between the alliance in partnership with the state, Leeward Community College in Honolulu and Wahiawā Value-Added Product Development Center in Wahiawā; it is aimed at taking value-added products from concept to business plan and pitch in just 12 weeks.

Hawaiʻi Gov. Josh Green said as a premier international travel destination, the Aloha State occupies a strategic position at the crossroads of Asia, the Pacific and continental United States, so “it is certainly in Hawaiʻi’s interest to help safeguard the health and well-being of our neighbors and frequent visitors to our islands.”

Participants will be introduced to key concepts in farm succession planning, including family and non-family transition options, tools for transferring land and farm businesses as well as resources available to Hawaiʻi farmers and landowners.

No injuries were reported; all occupants of the single-family residence on Kualono Street were accounted. Its cause is considered unintentional and remains under investigation.

The annual report filing period is related to the business entity’s registration date and can be filed at any time during the quarter in which the filing is due; second quarter reports must be filed by midnight June 30.
