Situated along the sun-drenched Kohala Coast on sacred land marked by royal fishponds, natural lava plains, lush tropical gardens and alluring beaches, hotel Mauna Lani is an inspiring spiritual haven defining a new era of experiential luxury on the Island of Hawai’i.
The resort is deeply rooted in culinary and culturally driven experiences. Emblematic of its commitment to authenticity is the CanoeHouse, managed by husband-and-wife duo
executive chef Matt Raso and general manager Yuka Raso. With a storied history, the oceanfront farm-to-table restaurant has become an icon on the island and prides itself on creative dishes and more.
On Nov. 10, Executive Chef Matt Raso, the mastermind behind Mauna Lani’s signature restaurant CanoeHouse, is partnering with James Beard Award winner and Miami-based chef Michelle Bernstein to host an exclusive culinary experience. Exploring the relationship between cultural heritage and cooking, Chefs Bernstein and Raso will commence the evening by engaging in a candid panel discussion dedicated to all things culinary.
The experience will continue with Chef Bernstein’s reimagination of Matt and Yuka Raso’s iconic “MY” menu. Redesigned with the bright and dynamic flavors of Latin America yet staying true to CanoeHouse’s philosophy of local sourcing, Chef Bernstein’s menu will showcase dishes that integrate fresh and local ingredients cultivated on the island of Hawai’i.
“It is an honor to be partnering with CanoeHouse and Chef Matt Raso, whom I have always been a fan of, this November,” Bernstein added. “I have such an affinity for Hawai’i, having visited many times with my family, so I am excited to once again return and cook at such an iconic restaurant in the Hawai’i dining scene. “MY” menu will pair Latin flavors and cuisine — as I have a Latin background — with Chef Matt’s touch, using the best ingredients of the land around us as he does so well.”
