The crust for this recipe has a delightful coconut flavor because I use coconut oil instead of butter. The naturally occurring saturated fat in coconut oil is good for you and improves heart health, boosts your thyroid, increases metabolism, promotes weight loss, and supports the immune system. Combine that with the health benefits of lilikoi, and you have a traditional dessert bar that’s about as healthy as you can make. Makes 18, 3-inch bars. Continue Reading →

I call these Sunrise Muffins because the lilikoi makes them a deep orange color; the same color that I am blessed to see when the sun rises on Kauai. The muffins are full of chunky pineapple, shredded coconut, bananas, and macadamia nuts, and make a delightful companion to a cup of Kauai Coffee. Continue Reading →

“We can’t really farm at the Kealia gardens anymore,” Hannah says mournfully. Her Chinese accent has a sweet, little girl lilt. Her husband is quiet, his English isn’t as strong as Hannah’s. “The nene (Hawaii’s endangered State bird) eat everything. The only thing they don’t eat is leeks and green onions, so that’s all we can plant there.” Continue Reading →

I first met Cheryl Chee Tsutsumi when she was autographing copies of her new cookbook, “The Hawaiian Book of Rice”. I was strolling through Poipu’s Culinary Market at Kukuiula Shopping Village, my favorite farmers market, when I noticed a crowd.

I love cookbooks, and they seem to fill my shelves without me noticing. Since I grew up in Colorado, I’m especially interested in cookbooks written by residents of Hawaii. As I waited in line, I noticed that proceeds were being donated to the Hawaii Food Bank (bonus), and she was giving out rice paddles to everyone who bought a copy (bonus-bonus!) Continue Reading →
