Aloha and welcome to My Lilikoi Kitchen.
I live in Kihei on the island of Maui where the weather is always warm and sunny. The very idea of rain excites us because it’s a rare occasion when it comes our way, however, the sunny days are good for the garden where we grow tomatoes, cucumbers, assorted peppers, papayas, mangoes, avocados and lots of herbs.
Though it’s very beautiful here on Maui, everyone needs a vacation, right? My husband I visit San Francisco once a year where the food is superb and the farmer’s markets sell gorgeous produce, fresh tamales, handmade pasta, and of course, outstanding bread. These trips inspire me to cook delicious meals for family and friends back home in Hawaii.
I love to cook all types of food. Some of my favorites are Italian, Mexican, Japanese, and Korean. One of our favorite things to make is pizza. We recently received an Ooni pizza oven from our children, and now we are able to make Neapolitan pizzas as beautiful as the ones we have had in San Francisco.
Thank you for visiting with me. Let’s start cooking!
Cheers!
Kiyo
