Hawaiian Chili Water One thing you find in just about every place in the world is some kind of hot sauce ready to liven up any dish that is lacking. We have always been big fans of unique hot sauces (check out our post with jackfruit hot sauce recipe) and don’t miss a chance to […]
Travaasa Hana Maui
Big plans We had big plans for Maui, we were going to do some hiking on the many trails available, some snorkelling and visit all sorts of sites but everything was postponed.

365 Project 2014 – week 20
Cats, rats and bananas This week we enjoyed living like locals in Hana Maui, cutting down bananas (we found a rat’s nest in one bunch), mowing the lawn, feeding the chickens, spending time at the beach and enjoying fancy drinks at the Travaasa Hana.

You can see […]
From Ottawa to Maui – JACKFRUIT HOT SAUCE
Here we are Well here we are, sitting in a beautiful house not too far from Haleakala on the island of Maui. It’s 83 degrees (28C) outside and sunny but every once in a while a rain shower passes over and dampens the rainforest. The ridiculously long and cold winter of home seems a distant […]
365 Project 2014 – week 18

We’ve been busy learning the ropes but once we get into a routine we’ll start telling you all about our adventures and food discoveries on Maui. Aloha! […]
