Chef David Paul's Whimsical and Eccentric Food is Anything but Serene

"I have never seen a dish remotely similiar to his Painted Desert Seafood...While devouring every crumb of his compelling Triple-Berry Pie with tapioca-and-sour-cream crust, I decide that this obsessive, talented chef is certainly headed for stardom..." ~ Alan Richman, GQ

Learning to Cook in Honolulu: Real Skills From a Professional Chef

Most cooking classes in Honolulu are tourist experiences with 20 strangers making the same dish. You leave with a recipe card and no real skills. Chef David Paul teaches actual technique.

50+ years in professional kitchens means learning from someone who has cooked for James Beard dinners, not someone who just finished culinary school last year.
