Wellness Kitchen

My daughter and I spent a lovely time with Lisa learning to make a Thai meal . We made spring rolls, pad thai and green curry, as well as popovers and a tofu chocolate mousse. Not only great fun but we feel proficient to make these dishes at home. Lisa is a great person as well as a great teacher

My boyfriend and I had an amazing couple hours cooking with Lisa! She gave us so many tips for how to make delicious and nutritious meals at home, and was kind enough to even send over her favorite cream puff and salad recipes after. We really enjoyed how we didn't just learn to make a couple dishes, but learned about soy sauce brands and how to make flavored butters. Highly recommend the misoyaki butterfish with the popover add-on! Definitely one of our highlights in Honolulu. Thank you Lisa for having us at your beautiful home (with the cutest dogs)!

If you're looking for a fun activity and laughs with your friends or family I highly recommend Lisa & wellness kitchen. Myself and 2 of my girlfriends spent an amazing afternoon with Lisa. Not only did we have SO MUCH FUN cooking food, but we learned so much about the food and the history behind the food we were eating. I was always very nervous in the kitchen, but the dishes we made were so simple (they didn't look simple) and delicious. It boosted my confidence in the kitchen and showed me healthy and delicious go hand in hand. OH! And Lisa has the most adorable doggos that keep you company and give you any emotional support you may need.

We booked Lisa's cooking class to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. Not only did we had a fun time, but we learned so much about the dishes that Lisa thought us to cook. Her home is warm and welcoming and Lisa is just an absolute joy to be around. She made us feel welcome and comfortable and we all appreciated her expertise and gentle way to guide us throughout the cooking class. Thank you for having us Lisa and all your patience and kindness!

Lisa was an amazing host and instructor. Her place was easy to find. She made us feel comfortable and safe from the start. You are provided 3 recipes to take home. Some ingredients were unique and we look forward to using them in our own cooking at home. The recipes were healthy, and tasty, and will be added to our at-home rotation. Our experience was amazing and will be shared with others. We look forward to returning to another class.Bonuses: Lots of fun and laughter, breathtaking views, and two friendly dogs.

Of all the treasures of Hawaii, Lisas class was gold! She was so warm & welcoming, & such a fantastic teacher & kind soul. She taught me & my sweet man the science behind everything we prepared & ate-leaving us with knowledgeable about eating nutritious foods that also taste good. Whenever a friend asks me what my favorite part about my trip to Hawaii was, "Lisa's Wellness Kitchen" is always my response. I highly recommend making a wonderful friend with Lisa in her kitchen

Lisa continues to deliver. She has her own granola blend that I buy monthly and it is seriously THE BEST. They are more like "granola chunks" which make them that much easier to eat and enjoy Some times I'll break them up to make an acai bowl or add to my greek yogurt. OH and if you are thinking of special holiday gift ideas, I HIGHLY recommend buying a gift card for the experience. I purchased a couple for two friends that are getting married and they mentioned it is one of the best meals/experiences they have ever had. Highly, highly recommend!!

My best friend's daughter gave us a gift certificate to Wellness Kitchen. We didn't know what to expect because we've never been to anything like this before, let alone being in someone's house. What a great experience! We felt very welcomed from the start, like going to a friend's house for lunch. Lisa not only teaches you how to cook her dishes, she also adds some education about the ingredients used - like when to use olive oil vs avocado oil, why kosher salt, and what umami really means. Lol. We LOVE dogs and her two pups were so sweet and lovable. Added plus for sure!! Already shared the experience with my girlfriends and we are thinking about booking a group experience. We just have to first agree on what dishes we're going to cook!

This cooking class was a fun and an awesome class! We learned a lot about cooking methods, quality products, and how to prepare tasty dishes. Our food was so delicious!Lisa was very kind and fun to work with. We laughed and talked story. She taught us new things that surprised us. The house is clean, comfortable, and has the most beautiful scenery.We had a wonderful experience. I definitely recommend this cooking class. This cooking class was a gift that I am so pleased with, it was totally worth it.Wellness Kitchen HI cooking class is a good idea for friends or family to enjoy together, while learning and eating good food, you're also making wonderful memories.Thank you, Lisa!

Great recipes and just enough hands on to make it fun. Lisa is a gracious teacher & shared her recommendations - she chose very healthy, but tasty ingredients - (e. g., subbing some of the sugar w/pureed roasted beets).Our menu was lava cake, daikon salad w/umeboshi/vinagrette, tomago (scrambled egg) roll w/grated daikon & tofu:Dashi soup and miso butterfish & brown rice.We shared chopping/cooking duties between six of us, so not everyone was hands on at all times. The food was delicious - seriously delicious. The butterfish was as good as what you get at a high end restaurant (we ALWAYS go to Roy's at least once for the butterfish & the lava cake .... Now we can cook our own..!).Lisa's house is the perfect setting, high in the hills/a gorgeous view of the ocean & downtown. The kitchen is well appointed and she has all of the kitchen equipment/dishes/bowls, etc. to make it a great experience.
