Island Luau Cooking Party

Get ready for a relaxed night of cooking, connection, and tropical flavor. Our Island Luau Cooking Class invites you into the kitchen for an experience that feels more like a backyard gathering than a traditional class. It’s laid-back, social, and full of energy.

To kick things off, we’ll shake up a refreshing island-inspired mocktail. You’re also welcome to bring your favorite adult beverage to enjoy as you cook. From there, the good times keep rolling. Under the guidance of our chef, you’ll get hands-on as you prepare a menu inspired by Hawaiian favorites: Huli-Huli chicken, Lomi-Lomi salmon, grilled pineapple, coconut rice, and crispy plantain chips.

As the dishes come together, you’ll pick up helpful techniques, hear stories behind the recipes, and enjoy the rhythm of a shared kitchen. No pressure, no stuffy chef talk—just real cooking, real flavor, and real fun. Plus, you’ll sit down at the end to enjoy the fruits of your labor with new friends and familiar faces alike.

Whether you come with a group or show up solo, this is an event made for connection, learning, and island vibes. It’s perfect for a unique date event, birthday celebration, or just a fun day out in Rockford. And no experience is needed—just a love of food and a willingness to jump in.

• Huli-Huli Chicken
• Lomi-Lomi Salmon
