On this week’s show we get creative with items on the Hawaii Foodbank wish list and concoct a tasty miso chicken dish, while visiting Chef D.K. Kodama prepares Stuffed French Toast.

Hold refrigerated until ready to serve.

Deep-fry stuffed French toast until golden brown. Remove and drain off excess oil. Bias slice in half and arrange on a serving plate. Sprinkle slices with powdered sugar and top with the fresh berry mix.

Garnish top with a large rosette of whipped cream and serve with maple syrup.
