My husband Dan and I went to the St. Regis Princeville to taste some of the new summer dishes on the menu at Kauai Grill. The luxury resort’s signature restaurant is inspired by internationally acclaimed chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten. (He and his wife did a fantastic show called Kimchi Chronicles by the way). We had a chance to meet Kauai Grill’s chef de cuisine Maxime Michaud when we wrote about his new position for MidWeek Kauai. Today, I’m happy to share my incredibly delicious experience with you, as well as some tasty upcoming menus that Maxime and general manager Antonio Palomares shared with us.

We start with a bottle of Extra Dry Bele Casel prosecco, a sparkling wine from Italy where the grapes are soft-pressed and the wine is aged for three months. Our server keeps the bottle chilled and the mildly sweet bubbly pairs wonderfully with our entire dinner.

The sun starts to sink over the ocean as a bowl of Cherry Tomato Gazpacho ($12) is served. The chilled soup is garnished with thin moons of crisp cucumber, cherry tomato halves, little balls of pickled watermelon and lemongrass granita. Continue Reading →

Kauai Sugarloaf White Pineapple

Hole in the Mountain Farm has launched their website, www.kauaisugarloaf.com so you can ship a sweet taste of Kauai home. Owner Paul Huber, and his little dog assistant Panda, have planted 500 Kauai Sugarloaf White Pineapple in the last couple of weeks. They are well on their way to having Sugarloaf year round, and debunking the myth that Sugarloaf is only a summer crop.

“We have a large crop of beautiful field ripened and hand selected Kauai Sugarloaf White Pineapple ready for harvest that will be available for sale at Kukuiua Market in Poipu,” says Paul’s wife Jude. “I will be attending both the Wednesday Kukuiula Market and the Saturday Kauai Community College Market regularly and will continue to have Kauai Sugarloaf available for many months to come.

If you are visiting Kauai, Jude has been working closely with the Department of Agriculture. She always brings a few specially selected Kauai Sugarloaf Pineapple, to the market, which have been prepared for shipment/hand carry. The airport agricultural inspection will allow you to carry these Kauai Sugarloaf out of the state to anywhere in the United States, Canada, and Japan. Continue Reading →
