Dump Cake by Lehua Kalima
When you have a conversation about Hawaiian Music you have to mention Na Leo Pilimehana. One third of the super group is Lehua Kalima whom we were lucky enough to get in the kitchen this week. One of my favorite songs from her is Flying with Angels that has become one of Hawaii’s most popular songs. I first met Lehua after they won the famous high school talent competition Brown Bags to Stardom. I was still in high school but was able to attend one of their radio interviews as I just started my radio career. I had the opportunity to do a few Motherʻs Day shows with them and was honored to host some of their concerts. Today Lehua makes a KS tradition, Shepards Pie.
