This Hawaiian recipe for chicken pulehu is sweet, smoky, juicy and spicy. In Hawaii, pulehu means grilled. This simple dish can easily be made by visitors who stay in vacation rentals because most properties have barbeques. Wood skewers can be cheaply purchased at Ace Hardware. Limes and ginger are available at Kauai farmers markets and the rest of the ingredients can be purchased at any grocery store. We like the sweet and spicy combination of the sauce which is made with two local products. Of course if you live here, this makes a satisfying weekend dinner. Serves 4. Continue Reading →

Ken Love is a kind, gentle man who is well known in Hawaii and around the world as a tropical fruit expert. He maintains a website full of information about Hawaii’s fruit and was in a fascinating movie called Fruit Hunters. Continue Reading →

This week, I feature Durga Farms in my Farmers Markets column for Kauai Midweek. It was the first time Dan and I had been to their farm in Anahola and I was surprised to learn that they also offer yoga retreats and Ayurveda healing. The owner, Myra Lewin, wrote two books. Freedom in Your Relationship with Food: An Everyday Guide and Simple Ayurvedic Recipes, a companion cookbook. I have both books and will post reviews on them soon. If you’re a Tasting Kauai Facebook fan, you’ll recognize their pumpkins, which I posted pictures of several weeks ago. Three healthy and vital ladies run the property, and I quickly grew to respect their lifestyle and was charmed by their kind personalities. Vanessa Massey is the farm manager and Kelsey Brusnyk is Myra’s assistant. Kelsey recently sent me this note and a recipe to share. Enjoy! Continue Reading →
