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 →

Opah and Apple Banana en Papillote

When I reviewed the cookbook, A Splash of Aloha: A Healthy Guide to Hawaiian Seafood, I decided to make a recipe that uses apple bananas. They are abundant in Hawaii, and everyone always seems to have a lot of them. There are so many, people with trees are only too happy to give away a hand, which includes about 20 bananas! I thought this would be a refreshing use of the firm, sweet bananas, which are usually folded into banana bread. This recipe is a little fussy because you layer the bananas on a ti leaf, place this fish on top, and fold it in parchment paper. It’s worth the trouble!
Opah, also knows as moonfish, has firm, flakey, white flesh and a flavorful and juicy bite. The high fat content makes it good for many cooking techniques including raw, sautéed, baked, grilled, or steamed such as in this recipe. Serves 4. Continue Reading →
