edible Hawaiian Islands: Award winning  quarterly magazine, celebrating the abundance of local foods in the Aloha State.  

The Hawaiian Islands … images of beauty come to mind. A paradise in the middle of the Pacific. Deep blue seas, lush mountains and rain forests … clean fresh air. Luscious exotic fruits, fish with names you can’t pronounce.

These islands in the past were all about local; we need to encourage it again. Take value in local, seasonal, authentic foods and the many culinary traditions of the Hawaiian Islands. We want to know those who grow, produce, cook and sell those foods. We want to know what’s available on our islands, in terms of great dining, food events and local community farmers markets. Talk Story… the Hawaiian term for sharing information. Let’s Talk Story about old traditions, as well as new ways of preparing some of the exotic produce we have. Let’s Talk Story about how to keep the Hawaiian Islands prospering in healthy agricultural ways.

Sustainable eating (eating locally produced food) … everywhere you look, there are signs, The Hawaiian Islands are in the midst of a local food….. culinary renaissance, and we should all be a part of it. Would you rather eat what has traveled 3000 miles to get to your table, or 50 miles and less?

Filled with engaging stories, enticing photography and art, our mission is to celebrate family farmers, bakers, fisherman, ranchers, poultry farmers, local chefs and the rest of the community for their dedication to producing the highest quality fresh and seasonal foods. We want to highlight those efforts towards a more sustainable and safe food system in The Hawaiian Islands.

Join us in this effort.

We would love to hear from you, do you know someone whom you think merits a mention or an article? Do you have an old family recipe? Help us tell the story of Hawaii’s food culture. Drop us a line today.
