Kauaian cook lives on the Garden Island in Hawaii. Retired here in 1998, we enjoy all the fruits, vegetables, fish and other local grown & harvested island flavors. Great farmers markets - 6 days a week plus roadside honor stands for fruits, veggies and flowers! For "work" there is volunteering with the local historical society as well as with the Monk Seal Watch group (kauaimonkseal.com). Have a bad cookbook habit, so am hoping that Recipezaar with cure a little of that! Do play alot in the waters.
