If things look a little different to you, it’s because our website is getting an update. Besides a slightly different look, we are adding a payment option so tours can be booked online. Marta is writing a series of e-books which will be compiled into one book called A Culinary Romp Through Paradise: The Foodie’s Guidebook to Kauai. The book will have detailed listings of farmers markets, farmers, seasonality and descriptions of exotic produce, restaurants and food trucks, products made on Kauai with ingredients grown on Kauai, food related events, grocery stores that carry local products and more.

A series of e-books will be released as they are completed, which will be chapters in the final book. Since we are frequently asked, by locals and visitors alike, “Where are the best paces to eat?” we have compiled a list of our Top 20 Restaurants. We also support the Kauai artisans who hand-craft their products with passion, honesty and quality ingredients. Our Top 20 Artisans list features our favorite farm-fresh goodies.

Details can be read under the “Books” tab, which will be completed early next week. For now, you can check out what’s coming. Later, you’ll be able to download our Top 20. Part One: Restaurants, the first in our e-book series, is due to be released in November 2012. We have a lot of tasty information to share, and want to serve it like a multiple course dinner. Each e-book can be consumed and digested at you’re leisure, and just when you’re hungry for more, the next e-book should be fresh out of the oven! Continue Reading →

On Kauai, Jean Marie Josselin is most remembered for his popular restaurant A Pacific Cafe, which flourished in the 90s, and was located in Kapaa. During that time, chefs of Hawaii were cooking with Asian flavors, European techniques, and sourcing from local farmers, ranchers and fishermen, which was unusual. Twelve chefs are credited with creating Hawaiian Regional Cuisine, and Jean Marie is the only one cooking on Kauai. Continue Reading →

Guests on our Kauai culinary tour got to know local mead maker, Stephanie Krieger. As the owner of Nani Moon Mead, she closed the shop, and gave us an exclusive tour and tasting. She also had a little surprise for us all, and taught us how to make a cocktail with her Winter Sun Mead—a margarita no less. She gave everyone the recipe, and I’m sharing it here with you. This is one tasty margarita, but be careful, it goes down really easy! Continue Reading →

The new Restore Kauai Farmers Market not only makes parking a lot easier, but the value added products are a welcome addition to the popular Sunshine Market held every Wednesday in Kapaa. There is a nicely graded dirt pathway that leads to the Sunshine Market, and vendors such as Midnight Bear Breads, and Kauai Kunana Dairy line the entrance. Continue Reading →
