Help Maui // Shop Small Gift Guide

As Maui mourns and recovery efforts continue, there are many ways to continue to support the Maui community from afar beyond the aid efforts in the post below. Many small businesses on Maui rely on tourism and are likely already seeing losses in sales, jobs and activity. Please, support them however you can. I have provided a long, but by no means exhaustive, list below of shops and businesses that have an online presence and that can ship right to your door! Maui has so much to offer – this is just a snippet.

And if you have your favorite restaurants, coffee shops, shave ice spots or ice cream parlors – please, contribute to their staff funds, buy gift cards for future visits or merchandise from their websites. If you need some inspiration, some of my favorites are listed in my Maui Travel Guide.

A hui hou!

This summer fruit crisp is a super simple recipe to remember: the batter is 1 cup of flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk, and 1 stick of butter (diced and dotted on top) + 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Don’t skimp on the butter and don’t skimp on the fruit either! I love peaches 🍑 and blueberries 🫐 here, but plums and nectarines would also be great // use at least 4 lbs of fruit, though I tend to skew more towards 5 lbs myself, but this recipe is flexible. Macerate the fruit with a few spoonfuls of sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, then pour the batter over it. Dot the top all over with the butter and sprinkle with some vanilla sugar, if you have it. Bake @ 350 F for about an hour until everything is all bubbly and set. 🥧 // enjoy for tea or for breakfast (my personal favorite) // #saffronandhoney #fruitrecipes #fruitcrisp #summerfruitcrisp #peachcrisp #peachblueberrycrisp

Food is comfort and food is community 🩷 // and this soy-braised tofu made with @foodlandhi ‘s new Maika’i Tofu (made locally at Aloha Tofu Factory) is definitely full of those comforting flavors of home // #foodland75 #foodlandambassador #tofurecipes #mauistrong #maikai Recipe:
1 pack Maikai Firm Tofu
2 tablespoons soy sauce 0.5 teaspoon white sugar
0.5 teaspoon gochugaru
2 tablespoons sliced scallions
1 teaspoon grated garlic (I use a microplane)
0.5 cup water
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional) // 1.Pat dry the tofu and slice into 1/2 inch thick pieces. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over the medium heat and cook the tofu for about 4 minutes on each side. 2. While the tofu cooks, make the braising liquid/sauce: whisk together soy sauce, sugar, scallions, water, gochugaru, and garlic. 3. When the tofu is ready, add the soy sauce mixture to the pan and reduce it slightly, basting the tofu in the liquid constantly; this will take about 3 minutes. 4. Take off heat, mix in sesame oil and sesame seeds into the sauce, spoon it over the tofu and serve hot or chilled.
