Tasting Kauai

Happy Aloha Friday! We had an exceptional week and hope you did too. Today, get an update on our weight loss progress while learning about healthy dining options on Kauai in our “Working out and eating healthy” article that runs in our “Tastes of Kauai” column in The Garden Island newspaper.  Happy Mother’s Day! If my mom were here, I would certainly raise my glass.

This Sunday, our “On the Farm” column in The Garden Island newspaper covers One Song Farm, kai choy and Lisa’s recipe for Kai Choy Kim Chi. While researching for the article, I learned that kai choy has an amazing amount of nutritional benefits, so check it out!

Common Ground

This Saturday Common Ground is hosting a wedding ceremony and reception for a couple from Brooklyn, NY.  Originally a party of 20, they are now only traveling with nine adults and two children because many family and friends were effected by the storm. Thankfully, no one was injured, but due to the storm, folks couldn’t make travel arrangements.

As an extension of the aloha spirit from Kauai, Common Ground is waiving all cancellation and change fees and is refunding a chunk of their money. On the night of the wedding, there will be a special, intimate dinner setting to make their party seem less empty. Cheers to everyone at Common Ground, way to share that aloha spirit!

Akamai Juice Co.

Last Friday, Hot Shots and Wellness Shots from Akamai Juice Co. became available at The Garden Cafe. Now, Noni shots have been added to the Wellness & Hot shot menu at The Garden Cafe. “It’s a really great combo,” says Cas Schwabe Lutton of Akamai Juice Co. “A wellness shot or hot shot, followed by the Noni. I think they have a special price if you buy two shots. It used to be hard to find raw, organic noni nectar on island. I think the goat cheese peeps and I are the two biggest.” If anyone has organic lilikoi for sale, email Cas at akamaikauai@gmail.com.

According to the website HealthySteps.com noni is: Continue Reading →

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 →

Makana Terrace is couched along the west side of the luxurious St. Regis Princeville Resort and overlooks Hanalei Bay. You can sit inside, or outside on the lanai next to a reflecting pool. The pictures I’ve included are from the Kauai Grill, which is also in the St. Regis. I posted them because the chefs at Kauai Grill also cook for Makana Terrace, and as you can see, they can cook! Continue Reading →
