Tasting Kauai

Happy Aloha Friday! We hope you had an exceptional week. Last Sunday, our article “Safely preserving the harvest” ran in The Garden Island newspaper. If you are a Tasting Kauai Facebook fan, you saw all of my pictures from the Hawaii Master Food Preservers class. I had a lot of fun learning how to safely preserve food and writing about it. Last Wednesday, our article “Hanalei’s Edible Opportunist” ran in The Garden Island newspaper. If you haven’t experienced one of Justin Smith’s dinners, you should. It’s great for residents who want a fun date as well as visitors who want a unique experience.
I am honored to partner once again with Kauai’s legendary chef, Jean Marie Josselin. Later this month, I’ll sign copies of our restaurant guidebook and join chef Josselin during the cooking demonstration at the Kauai Culinary Market. For more information, see the Events listing for March 26.

Verde Healthy Thursday

Join Verde every week for Healthy Thursday. Verde Chilaquiles ($12.99 and less than 380 calories) are made with local ingredients including NewMona Hui Farm eggs, Kauai Kunana Dairy feta cheese, Lawai Valley Mushrooms and Govinda Farm‘s kale and tomatillos. Owner Maris Manzano went through considerable effort to create a new, low-calorie, locally sourced menu item, so she’s keeping it on the menu for the entire month of March. I can tell you it’s a delicious, slightly spicy, large, guilt-free portion. The mushrooms and feta cheese add great umami flavor, the kale is fresh and earthy and the tomatillo wedges are tart. When cut into, the fried egg creates a kind of sauce. If your watching calories, you’ll wish you could get a meal like this more often!

The Feral Pig

This Sunday and Monday, The Feral Pig will celebrate St. Patty’s Day with Irish music, Irish food and Irish drinks. On tap for the occasion are Ovila Quad aged in bourbon barrels with Abbey plums; Rebel IPA from Sam Adams and Good Chit Pilsner from the Rougue Farms series.

Kilauea Town Farmers Market & Deli

Kilauea Town Farmers Market & Deli just added a new mild and tasty burger to their menu, made with ground antelope, bison, elk, venison, and wild boar. New items in their inventory, which is growing daily, include “Haole Boy” salsa, fresh squeezed juices, apple and pineapple crisp, and AJ’s excellent homemade chocolate chip cookies. They also expanded their line of affordable gourmet chocolates. As usual, they carry camo pants and “Local’s ” slippers. Resident Larry Kopeski’s organic sunscreen and surf wax are also now available.

Safeway

Safeway Hawaii donated $104,022.47 to the Hawaii Foodbank as a result of Safeway’s “Help Us End Hunger (Every Bag Counts)” holiday food drive and Hawaii Foodbank’s “Check-Out Hunger” fundraising campaign.
Thanks to Safeway customers, more than 7,000 bags of groceries were sold at checkout stands at 21 Safeway stores across the state and donated to those in need this past holiday season. The specially packed grocery bags provided customers with an easy way to make a donation while ensuring that food bank recipients received the items they needed most. The bags, priced at $10 each, contained Safeway and Kraft Food products.
Safeway customers also donated directly to local food banks by tearing off the familiar bright green “Check-Out Hunger” coupon found at checkout stands and making a contribution.
“Safeway is proud to partner with our local food banks to help fulfill its mission of feeding Hawaii’s families,” said George Glukfeld, Safeway Hawaii district manager. “The contributions from our customers and employees continue to make a difference in providing quality, nutritional food to those in need.”
The donations from Safeway benefit food banks on each island – Hawaii Foodbank on Oahu and Kauai, Maui Food Bank and The Food Basket on the Big Island. Over the past 5 years, Safeway has donated nearly half a million dollars to Hawaii food banks. Every donation received helped feed one in seven people in Hawaii – more than 14 percent of the state’s population – who must turn to a food bank for assistance. $2,696.33 was donated to the Hawaii Foodbank on Kauai.
Nationally, Safeway and Kraft Foods donated a total of 904,151 bags of groceries to food banks and other hunger-relief centers across the country. Kraft Foods provided a special holiday gift in the form of a grant to several local food banks in each of Safeway’s U.S. operating divisions. The cash donation helped food banks provide roughly 2 million meals. Safeway is a major supporter of food banks and in total, Safeway and The Safeway Foundation donate an average of $200 million a year in grants and product donations to charitable organizations.

Free Green Careers Certificate Program Launches on Kauai

Roots of Kauai, a free Green Careers Certificate program, will be launching on Kauai this summer. Offering young adults aged 18 to 30 a 10-week certificate program focused on environmental literacy and career development education, the program includes a 100-hour internship in a local green business.
The new program is being launched by Malama Kauai, known for their history of successful sustainability programs on Kauai, including the Kauai Green Business Program, Kauai School Garden Network, Kalihiwai Community Garden and Permaculture Food Forest.
Kauai green businesses can get involved by hosting an intern for the summer, presenting about their business in class, providing informational interviews for students who want to learn more about their work, or hiring program graduates. The program aspires to prepare young adults for green career pathways and increase graduate involvement in continuing education, civic engagement, volunteerism and entrepreneurship, while also promoting environmental awareness and stimulating the local green economy.
Kauai residents aged 18-30 as of May 2014 are eligible to apply to the free program, which will provide a Green Careers Certificate, environmental literacy education, career development skills, connections to local employers, a hands-on resume-building internship, and career services support. Since the program is designed for students to explore career options and the green job market, students don’t need any prior experience or knowledge, or know what they would like to do for a career.
Assistance with internship program development and intern recruitment is free for all participating businesses. The program aims to build strong support systems for local businesses in the areas of organic agriculture, sustainable food production, conservation, water, energy, waste, green building, and other environmental sectors. Some of the organizations and businesses already planning to participate in the program include National Tropical Botanical Garden, Kauai Juice Co., Tasting Kauai, Lihue United Church Community Garden, The Outdoor Circle, Nani Moon Meadery, Kokee Resource Conservation Program, Zero Waste Kauai, and Kauai Forest Bird Recovery Project, among others.
Those interested in learning more about the program can visit Malama Kauai or email Megan@malamakauai.org. Deadline for applications is March 15.

Cooking Demonstration and Book Signing

Kauai Culinary Market’s cooking demonstration at The Shops at Kukuiula, 5 p.m., free
Meet local legend Jean Marie Josselin, chef of Josselin’s Tapas Bar & Grill and me (Marta Lane)  at a cooking demonstration during the Kauai Culinary Market. I will be signing copies of our book, Tasting Kauai: Restaurants – From Food Trucks to Fine Dining, A Guide to Eating Well on the Garden Island. Jean Marie is featured in our restaurant guidebook and he will make tapas, which everyone can sample afterward.
Twenty-two years ago, Josselin, along with 11 other chefs, brought worldwide recognition to Hawaii by creating Hawaii Regional Cuisine (HRC). Josselin won the National Seafood Challenge in 1989 and opened A Pacific Café, which was one of Hawaii’s earliest chef-driven restaurants. The late John Heckathorn  wrote in Honolulu magazine that Josselin was one of the movement’s most creative chefs. Josselin’s cookbook, A Taste of Hawaii, was the first from the Hawaii Regional chefs. At one time, Josselin had seven restaurants across the state as well as restaurant 808 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Today, he is the only HRC chef on Kauai to cook at his own restaurant. This afternoon will be a special treat!
Come early because the gourmet farmers market offers farm-fresh produce as well as pies, jams, honey and baked goods from local food artisans. This is a great way to buy aloha presents that were made on Kauai. Each week during the cooking demonstration a local chef highlights Kauai grown meat, fish and produce.

Farmers Market Tour

Wednesdays, 3 to 4 p.m., $30
Meet local farmers, learn how to select perfect produce as well as when it’s in season and how to cook with it during Tasting Kauai’s one-hour farmers market class. Farmers markets are an affordable way to immerse yourself in local culture and the best place to buy produce that’s so fresh, it was harvested that morning. But buying at the farmers market doesn’t always insure that it was grown on Kauai. It happens all over the world. In Hawaii, customers want mangos year-round. In Colorado, they want tomatoes in May. To make that sale, vendors buy imported mangoes or tomatoes and sell them as their own. Becoming familiar with growing  seasons insures your dollars are spent on local produce.
There’s a whole world of delicious produce that many people never try. Let’s face it, some of it looks like it came from another planet. Once unfamiliar produce is demystified and cooking tips are shared, it may become a regular at dinner table. Many factors can make exotic produce expensive and the last thing you want to do is buy a pineapple that isn’t at peak perfection. This class will also teach you how to tell when produce is ripe as well as how to store it for best results. To make reservations, visit our Farmers Market Tour page.
