Melissa King Instagram – 5 days of Kauai in a minute. It was my first time on this island and it was so healing.✨ I was catching 6am yoga, eating a lot of fruit and shaved ice with my family/nieces, and visiting the local farmer’s markets for inspiration for my dishes for Chefs by Nature with @1hotel.hanaleibay. I built an AAPI grazing board, taught a cooking class, and put on a charity dinner for 100 guests supporting the local Kauai culinary school and couldn’t have done it without @chefgingerjpierce @chefmiguelfigueroa @chriscrary @chefprestonm and the @1hotels team. We served a passionfruit kampachi crudo with Sichuan chili and avocado, a jicama mango salad, turmeric lemongrass lechon over coconut rice with scallion pancakes and calamansi-soy vinegar, and a yuzu coconut cake with charred pineapple. Thank you to all the guests that came out to support and to the students for dedicating time to help us in the kitchen. I look forward to visiting this special island again soon.
