A tale of two tisanes

These two tisanes — or herbal teas — in their festive tones would offer the teetotalers at your New Year’s Eve party a refreshing way to ring in the new year. Read more

Pomelo, known as jabong in Hawaii, is the largest of the citrus fruits, and an original species, meaning it is not a hybrid like most fruits. Read more

Colorful kabocha

Kabocha, available year-round in Hawaii, is a key ingredient in this recipe. Some of the chunks will break down, giving this curry a lovely orange-red color. Read more

A fall favorite

Think of this dish as a veggie-forward fried rice, but instead of typical ingredients such as peas, carrots and kim chi, it’s packed with spinach and bears the fragrance of jasmine rice, garlic and cilantro. Read more

Pizza with a twist

Think of this as a pizza that’s neat to eat. Instead of toppings being piled over a crust, they’re sandwiched between spring-roll wrappers to make a single-serve quasi-pizza, or perhaps think of it as a quesadilla pizza. Read more

A silky, rich soup

A “cream” made of ground cashews turns this silky, rich soup into something vegans can enjoy. Read more
