“I have been working for five months on this project which starts this Sunday,” Franck Desplechin, executive chef of the St. Regis Princeville wrote to me in an email. “Bloody Mary celebrates 80 years. It was created in 1934 in New York and now is a part of the St. Regis brand. There are 31 St. Regises around the world so there will be 31 different Bloody Marys. The St. Regis Monarch Beach decided to do a one night event and we decided to celebrate for one week! I will fly to Honolulu next Tuesday to talk about it on Hawaii News in the morning. I’m pretty exited! Continue Reading →

Seaside Tapas Under Kauai Skies

Nalu Kai is a hidden gem that’s only open from June through September. The casual, outdoor restaurant faces Hanalei Bay and is tucked along the pool of the St. Regis Resort. You wouldn’t know it was there unless you went through the hotel, and even then you might miss it. You don’t have to be a guest to enjoy the restaurant or complementary valet parking.

The menus have changed at Makana Terrace, Nalu Kai and Kauai Grill, which are all located in the luxurious St. Regis Princeville.

I’ve also written about Makana Terrace and Kauai Grill before. Here are the recent menu changes and upcoming events for the St. Regis Princeville restaurants.

The Market at Common Ground in Kilauea has made some changes. Everything in The Market is eco-friendly and with that goes education. “Our goal is to share why we choose these amazing eco companies,” says market manager Stephanie Montanez. “We share what is different about each company’s products and what sets them apart from conventional products. Everything in our Market enhances life, preserves the Earth, supports local (97 percent of our vendors are local), and changes the paradigm of how people relate to shopping. Ultimately, we want to expand the awareness of why it is important to shop from this new perspective.”
2013 tours and workshops include chef Rodman teaching children in a school setting about eating healthy. “We are expanding our offering of knowledge by becoming a community hub and a resource for information, classes, workshops, tours,” says Montanez. “All to be centered around conscious eating, healthy lifestyles, agricultural knowledge, and Hawaiian herbal medicine.
Montanez owns the skin care company Palaau – The Healing Touch of Plants. Palaau has acquired land at Common Ground, as well as manufacturing space. “My goal with my land will be to create a endemic, indigenous (as well as other botanicals) native hawaiian herb garden that supplies botanicals for Palaau,” says Montanez. “My dream is to preserve this lost art and the profound wisdom and ways of Laau lapaau (healing with Hawaiian medicinal herbs), the mana o, the seeds, and the experience of the intangible.” Continue Reading →
