Returning food to the sacred
I love this time of year, Thanksgiving, the chill in the air, (yes… even in Maui), and the way we gather together to share our gratitude and break bread. I love the colors, the teas we drink, how coffee just tastes better with the cooling weather and how we are inundated with squash at every […]
We’ve been in our new home for a bit over 2 months now. Between the moving in, and Jon traveling, we just hadn’t been ready to receive guests until this last weekend. So we hosted a Housewarming! It was time, and the house felt ready to welcome souls in that would bless our space with […]
In my upcoming free eBook, The Food Practice Guide to Dining Out, I write a little bit about the amazing experience of Pop Up Restaurants. This growing phenomenon is taking the act of eating out to an entirely different level. Food should always be an event that ties together community, well balanced flavors and discovery. Pop […]
Jon’s brother and sister-in-law are here on the island for a couple of weeks. They are staying in Lahaina, but wanted to come on by and see our place. With so much going on, we just decided to throw together an impromptu brunch and invite a bunch of our friends to see who could actually […]

I have reviewed Flatbread Company before, when Jon and I were here last year. That was my first time there, and I loved it immensely, because as you might know, being gluten intolerant usually means a curtailing of your pizza habit. I have always found this to be a gigantic tragedy. Now that we are […]
It seems that along with words like paradise and perfection being associated with Maui, good food, twitter and community could be on that list as well. Jon and I are back again, and this time to look for a permanent residence. Paradise Maui, its food, and community made it impossible to stay away. One of […]
I’ve been off the mountain now for two weeks. And although I miss it, you all know that I love me my old stomping grounds. NO trip to the lowlands is complete without going to Lola’s Mexican Cafe in Long Beach! In fact all my friends are over the fact that when asked where to […]
Did you ever rave about a place so much that you felt personally responsible for how utterly full and booming it had become? I did and do. Of course, I’m not so self absorbed to think that Viento y Agua’s success has anything to do with me, but… some days… maybe I do. Located in […]
