Japan culinary icon to host lunch
Harumi Kurihara, one of the foremost observers of Japan's culinary scene, will host a cooking demonstration and luncheon Sept. 8 at the Halekulani.
Imagine Martha Stewart transported to Japan and you'd have some clue to Kurihara's influence. She has 23 cookbooks (her first was "I Want to Hear People Say it's Delicious"), publishes the magazine Suteki Recipe, appears on television and has a retail housewares line.
Her appearance, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., is part of the Halekulani Living series. It will include Kurihara's techniques for working with international ingredients, presentation and plating.
Admission is $75 and includes a signed cookbook. Reservations required: 931-5040.
