Eat and Live ‘PONO’

Ron Panzo of LuLu’s in Lahaina along with Delvina and Vernon Rosa are bringing Nalu’s to Kihei.

Nalu is the Hapa-Hawaiian phrase meaning to “go with the flow.” With that mindset the owners of Nalu’s have made it their focus to source the best that Hawaii has to offer, combining local flavors, and the freshest island ingredients available. Nalu’s mission is to serve “ono” (mouthwatering), food for our guests enjoyment.

So come on in to “Nalu’s” and go with the flow.”

A Sweet Deal with

The Maui Cookie Lady

T

he Maui Cookie Lady, Mitzi Toro, originally started her company as a fund-riaser for her father, who passed away in 2012. Her cookies were only available once-amonth at a booth in Wailuku's "First Friday."

The monies were donated to the nurses at the Maui Memorial Hospital ICU unit when her father passed. Becoming an instant hit, Mitzi has continued baking her famous cookies and has since been known as "The Maui Cookie Lady."

In a short 2 years her business has grown considerably, now being sold at Costco, Maui Brewing Company (Kihei Tech Park), The Waldorf Astoria Grand Wailea Resort & Spa, Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua Resort & Spa, The Market by Capische, Maui Pack N Ship, Kahului Maui Airport (airport outlet next to StingRay’s Restaurant), Maui Ocean Center Turtle Treasure Gift Shop and is continually expanding her reach. She now does extensive shipping throughout the state of Hawaii, the mainland and even internationally.

Maui Cookie Lady grew quickly due to its creative combinations and highest quality ingredients. They even proudly use unique locally-made products including Sammy Hagar's Maui-Distilled Macadamia Nut Rum, Paniolo Brown Sugar Whiskey, several favorite beers from Maui Brewing Company and they even add a little spice using Adoboloco’s Kiawe Smoked Peppers (featured in their new "BBC" Cookie). Some popular flavors include the "Butter Rum Triple Chunker" (the original), "Vanilla Slurry" with Bavarian Cream & Raw Maui Sugar, "Pineapple Lychee Passion", “Da Half Baked” and "Nutella Raspberry Dark Chocolate Truffle" just to name a few.

Always looking for new flavors, Mitzi decided to create her first savory cookie. For this fete she sought out the assistance of award-winning Chef, Eric Faivre, one of the most well-known and accomplished chefs on Maui. He won the prestigious ‘Aipono Award, among many other recognitions. He offered his culinary guidance helping MCL develop this new savory

hit, which they dubbed the “BBC”: Bacon, Cheddar & Chives, containing MBC Big Swell IPA and Adoboloco's Kiawe Smoked Peppers.

Adoboloco is a locally-made brand of killer hot sauces owned and created by Tim Parsons which MCL is proud to use in her product. www.TheMauiCookieLady.com Like us on Facebook- The Maui Cookie Lady Instagram- @MauiCookieLady www.MauiBrewing.com Brewery Tasting Room Open Daily 11am-10pm Kihei Tech Park

The newest venue to carry MCL's famous cookies is Maui Brewing Co., created by Garrett Marrero. MBC is Hawaii’s most authentic and largest craft brewery. Fiercely local, they are committed to producing their beer here on Maui, creating complex beer styles based on tradition. "Being part of the rebirth of craft beer in America, while providing Hawaii with the neighborhood pub, adds to our passion about what we do," says owner Garrett. "This is something we are proud of, and that pride creates a global craft beer kinship." MCL is the first food item to be sold at MBC located at the Kihei Tech Park, exciting news for those who enjoy pairing Maui's favorite beer with a big, chewy, delectable cookie! Purely delicious and dangerously addictive!

FROM THE PUBLISHER

H

aving grown up in Hawaii I have observed the many changes from dining to shopping and now, spas. I thoroughly enjoy trying them all and each included here represents the best of Maui and each one is unique.

Maui is such a treat in so many ways and that’s especially true for those who appreciate delicious dining options. Maui's restaurants feature top chefs and talents from all corners of the globe and have found it impossible to resist the beauty and “Aloha Spirit” of our island. Maui's chefs work with an amazing assortment of ingredients and many are from sustainable farms. Sunripened tropical fruits, perfect lettuces, herbs and vegetables from small farms upcountry; huge fish pulled from the azure blue seas, exotic spices, lamb and beef raised right on Maui and “homegrown” Hawaiian sugar.

“I went to Maui to stay a week and remained five. I never spent so pleasant a month before, or bade any place goodbye so regretfully. I have not once thought of business, or care or human toil or trouble or sorrow or weariness, and the memory of it will remain with me always.”

Nalu's South Shore Grill

N

in Kihei is the "it" place to be for food and live Hawaiian music.

alu is the Hapa-Hawaiian phase meaning go with the flow. With that in mind the owners of Nalu's South Shore Grill have made it their focus to source the best that Hawaii has to offer, combining local flavors with the freshest ingredients available.

The focus is on fresh-Hawaiian Organic and is creatively presented on island wood slabs. Nalu’s concept is great food and value with Hawaiian/Pacific emphasis. Long time Maui residents Ron Panzo of LuLu's, Nicks Fishmarket and Sarento’s on the Beach and Vernon and Delvina Rosa have brought this "Pono" (do what is right in food and behavior) concept to Nalu's in Kihei celebrating island life.

The aloha atmosphere is warm and inviting with the wide stairway entrance that opens to a priceless Koa wood Outrigger Canoe hung from the ceiling, and tells a great spiritual story of finding, saving, blessing and restoration. The open glass doors and windows bring the garden feeling inside with friendly colorful custom-made benches and heavy wood tables. Stately tall Ohia wood support beams, front bar and counter that runs the width of the room is made from matched grains of beautiful Mango wood. The owners brought the wood from Big Island and did much of the design and building themselves.

The bar features 5 big screen TVs for the sports enthusiasts. The photo gallery features ocean and food, by nature

Luaus A

typical Hawaiian celebration is the lu¯‘au feast. For the out-sider, it means a grand hula production with dinner. Did you know that the word lu‘au means to be filled full, but also refers to the tender green leaf of the taro plant? These leaves were used as cooking vessels. ‘Aha‘aina was the original Hawaiian word for feast, which literally means “a gathering of the land.” At one time, the people of Hawai‘i had to find an excuse not to hold a lu¯‘au. Just mentioning it would start everyone gathering

the needs for a successful feast. From the mountain would come a pua‘a (pig) which was baked in the ground. From the ocean limu (seaweed) was gathered; it was believed to release someone from wrongdoing. And from the cultivated land would come kalo (taro) root pounded into poi and ti leaves to cover a table (or mat) to elicit protection. But the essential ingredient for a truly successful lu‘au is sharing Aloha. Visitors to these islands soon find that the feast accompanied by music and dance is one of the best ways to celebrate Hawai‘i.

The Feast at Lele Wailele Polynesian Luau at The Westin Maui Resort & Spa The Wailele Polynesian Luau at The Westin Maui Resort & Spa is held outdoors alongside the legendary Ka’anapali Beach with a stunning oceanfront backdrop. The dinner show utilizes the elements of earth, fire and water to reflect the rich Polynesian culture through superb performances with vibrant costumes.

The newly-revitalized Aloha Pavilion with cascading waterfalls, tropical gardens and tiki torches presents the perfect setting for guests to embark on an exciting journey to the Polynesian Islands where dance was considered not just as a form of enter­tainment, but as means of telling stories. Highlights iclude the story of Pele, Goddess of Fire and a new performance dedicated to Wailele (meaning waterfalls). The show also features dances from Hawaii, Fiji, Tahiti, New Zealand and Samoa.

The breath taking finale is none other than Maui’s only extreme fire-knife dance performance. Enjoy a superb Hawaiian meal served buffet style with tradition- al selections for an authentic experience. The three hour experience includes a free flow of drinks all evening with Mai Tais, signature cocktails, local beers, sodas and fruit juices.

Scheduled Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings, additional shows are presented Sunday evenings during summer and holiday seasons.

Visit westinmaui.com for show dates and details. For reservations, call the resort at 808-661-2992 or stop at the concierge desks at The Westin Maui Resort & Spa or The Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas. (see page 36-37)

The Feast at Lele, an elegant pageant of Polynesia, is nestled in an intimate beachfront patio in South Lahaina. Executive Chef James McDonald combines fine dining with exciting Polynesian entertainment at The Feast at Lele. Set in an intimate garden setting, private tables are terraced around a raised beachfront platform. As the sun sinks, silhouetting Lana‘i island across the Auau channel, an outrigger canoe paddled by Hawaiian warriors is welcomed ashore with the blowing of the conch. A seamless presentation ensues as the dancers take diners on a tour of Hawai’i, Aotearoa (New Zealand), Tahiti and Samoa. As Polynesia is explored, corresponding cuisine is brought to the table. While the New Zealand Maori frighten their foes with their famous tattooed faces and haka (war dance); an Upcountry Green Duck Salad is served with Fishcakes and Sauteed Sweet Potato and Mushrooms.

And when the sweet romance of Tahiti is presented with the exciting hip movements and regal feathered headdresses, there is Fafa-Steamed Chicken and Taro Leaf in Coconut Milk along with Baked Scallops and Poisson Cru. The five-course Polynesian feast orchestrated by Chef James will satiate any appetite and please the gourmet palette immensely.

“Island grown fruits and vegetables, many from our own organic farm, are incorporated into traditional Polynesian fare,” Chef James said. “Complete with tableside service, this is a ‘foodie’s’ luau.”

A burst of fire signals the grand finale, a stunning exhibition of Samoan fire knife dancing.

Pailolo Sports Bar & Grill’s New Food Truck

“Pailolo is on a Roll!”

T

from my diverse culinary experiences and infusing them with the local Hawaiian food culture and community. The Pailolo food truck has been a great outlet for this because the concept really encourages imagination.”

he Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas partnered with California Cart Builders to craft the first full-service food truck exclusively owned and operated by a Maui hotel or resort, which it introduced to the local food scene earlier this year. The food truck is the centerpiece of Pailolo Bar & Grill, the resort’s open-air, oceanfront sports bar that features live sports and pay-per-view events year round on multiple high-definition, large format TVs and offers an eclectic menu of local, contemporary twists on classic food truck favorites that highlight the local farmers, growers and products of Maui.

Since its introduction in February 2015, Pailolo Bar & Grill’s food truck menu has continued to evolve under the guidance and expertise of The Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas’ new executive sous chef, Matt Skaletsky. In this role, Skaletsky works closely with the resort’s executive chef, Francois Milliet, on overseeing menu design and culinary concept development for the resort’s three restaurants while maintaining the highest levels of quality. This responsibility includes Pailolo Bar & Grill, where Skaletsky has been instrumental in creating a menu that showcases gourmet food truck fare in a way that is creative, fun and accessible. Skaletsky, who before joining The Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas achieved recognition on culinary teams at Montage Deer Valley, Aspen’s Ritz Carlton Club and some of the finest hotels in the Southeast and Caribbean, explains, “I love taking the unique flavors

Pailolo Bar & Grill’s food truck menu features specials of food-truckinspired fare that blend local ingredients with unique preparations to showcase the breadth of island-style cuisine. Some examples are the Confit Lamb Gyro, Hot Honey Sriracha Chicken Wings and Ceviche Lettuce Wraps.

“We are very pleased to be the first resort in Maui to have our very own food truck,” states Brandon Maeda, Director of Food & Beverage at The Westin Ka’anapali Ocean Resort Villas. “Food trucks are known for being fun, energetic and unpredictable, yet with a touch of comfort and approachability. We are excited to capture this feeling and atmosphere at Pailolo Bar & Grill, and have the opportunity to create this experience for our guests without them having to seek it out,” continues Maeda.

The food truck is an innovative and engaging way to expand the menu and incorporate fantastic ingredients with items such as Confit Lamb Gyro: curried tzatziki, Kula tomato, Maui onion, feta, waipoli lettuce, oregano, naan flatbread (full recipe below).

FROM SEED TO FINISHED SPIRIT...

ORGANICALLY!

Crafting Ocean Vodka is a family effort and a true labor of love. Three generations of the Smith family have grown up on the beautiful island of Maui. They started Hawaii Sea Spirits, LLC (makers of Ocean Vodka) with the intention of building a business on Maui that presented an agriculturally based, non-perishable consumer product. The business would support the local community, sell product around the world, and be enjoyed by the extensive and ever-flowing tourism base.

Eight years later, Ocean Vodka is marketed and sold in 37 states and 2 provinces in Canada, expanding throughout North America, South America and Asia. Ocean Vodka has been the exclusive vodka on Hawaiian Airlines since 2007 and is the best-selling spirit from Hawai’i.

Ocean Vodka is certified USDA Organic, gluten-free and the only vodka in the world made from organic sugar cane and deep ocean mineral water, sourced from a depth of 3,000 feet off the Kona Coast of the Island of Hawai’i.

The Hawaii Sea Spirits Organic Farm and Craft Distillery shares the dream with you. Situated on 80-acres of the breathtaking Mount Haleakala slopes, the home of Ocean Vodka is easily reached from Maui’s international Kahului Airport as well as the island’s world-famous resorts. The Organic Farm and Craft Distillery are open for tours throughout the day, seven days a week.

@ The Westin Maui Resort & Spa

Ahi Poke Tostadas As the restaurant chef of Relish Burger Bistro, Jennifer Evetushick has successfully incorporated island-farmed ingredients such as Kula onions from upcountry Maui into the restaurant’s menu. She also introduced a healthier option by inviting customers to enjoy a burger “knife & fork” style, a gluten-free alternative served bun-less on a bed of island greens complemented by sweet potato fries. A first in Hawaii, Relish Burger Bistro was introduced at The Westin Maui Resort & Spa

by Starwood Hotels & Resorts. The concept was to bring local dining experiences into the resort whereby Chef Evetushick worked closely with resort director of food & beverage cum executive chef Garret Fujieda to source local flavors and partner island farmers to incorporate farm fresh ingredients such as tomatoes and fresh island herbs in the restaurant’s menu.

“As chefs, we occupy the most interesting part of anyone’s vacation or lifestyle, EATING! The general public values our opinions on where to acquire “the best” of any particular product. The more we promote local farmers, the more interest they receive and products they sell. It’s definitely a win-win

symbiosis. Plus, it is our responsibility as chefs to support island sustainability. Here in Hawaii, we have the good fortune to live in a year round growing climate. We also have access to some of the most exotic produce in the world. These include Kula strawberries at Relish Burger Bistro. Similarly, we purchase at least 60 cases of Maui Gold pineapples on a daily basis to be used in our dishes,” says Chef Evetushick.

With over fifteen years of diversified experience within the culinary industry, she is most passionate about food and enjoys being creative with different flavors to enhance guests’ dining experience. Chef Evetushick attended the Art Institute of Philadelphia, School of Culinary Arts and is very proud to have been the recipient of the Outstanding Achievement Award in her graduating class. Her culinary career includes being a Pastry Chef, Catering Chef and Executive Chef at Haili’imaile General Store in Maui, Hawaii. Her leisure pursuits include cooking, reading, and researching new recipes. She also enjoys boxing and stand-up paddling.

“in ancient times Kã‘anapali was the site of a thriving fishing village.”

N

orth of the landmark Pu‘u Keka‘a and around the necklace of bays of Chief Pi‘ilani (Na Honoa-pi‘ilani) is Kapalua Resort. In old Hawai‘i, the area was identified by the names of its principal bays, Honokahua and Honolua, which saw the comings and goings of voyaging canoes and fleets of war canoes. In the 1890s, one of Maui’s first missionary sons inherited this land and purchased thousands of acres more to found what would become one of Hawai‘i’s largest corporations, Alexander & Baldwin.As the pineapple crops flourished, Baldwin’s Honolua Ranch grew, importing laborers from Asia and the Azores and building homes in camps, a company store and offices. Some buildings can still be seen around the resort today, including the landmark Honolua Store, built in 1929, is still in operation. Perhaps Kapalua Resort’s most significant legacy is that of environmental conservation. When the resort was conceived in the late 1970s, owners Maui Land & Pineapple Company instituted conservation programs for a majority of their priceless landholdings: Honolua Bay and Mokulē‘ia Bay were designated a Marine Life Conservation District.

On the mountainside, the Pu‘u Kukui Watershed Preserve is the largest privately owned nature preserve in the state and home to plant and animal species that exist nowhere else in the world.

Through the centuries, Ka‘anapali has been revered in legend and is an attractive landscape of natural beauty.

This area, which encompasses Hanakao‘o (Canoe) Beach at the south end to Kahekili (Keka‘a) Beach in the north, has always beckoned people to explore long stretches of golden sand, cultivate fertile plains, and wonder at the peaks of Mauna Kahalawai. In ancient times Ka‘anapali (then known as Keka‘a) was the site of a thriving fishing village, lush fields of taro, warrior training grounds and a fierce battle between two royal brothers. The resort area was steeped in legends, such as the feats of Maui, the demi-god and Pueo, the guardian owl.The lore from a 15th century high chief who ruled the community at Keka‘a and banished his mischievous son to the neighboring island of Lana‘i to tame its ghosts, to the feats of Kahekili, the Thunderer, a chief who excelled in the sport of cliff diving and was fearless. In modern times, before the development of Hawai‘i’s first master-planned resort, the area boasted a horse race track, and railroad tracks that led to a pier for shipping sugar cane. The early years of Ka‘anapali Resort saw the establishment of a convenient airstrip, which guided visitors in prop planes right to their hotel’s front desk.

Unforgettable memories with family and friends.

Black Rock Dinner and Farm Series at

The Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa

H

awaiian culture emphasizes the importance of ‘ohana and ‘aina, and the farm fresh menu selections at Black Rock Kitchen incorporate these concepts into every dish. A local inspired menu offers a variety of selections from tapas and share plates to main plates and desserts. Tasting your way through the menu is a discovery of islands – from mauka (land) to makai (sea).

“The perfect dining experience should be one that culminates not only the flavors of the food, but the showmanship of the chef, and the creativity of the plated presentations” explains Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa’s Executive Chef Greg Gaspar.

As Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa’s signature restaurant, Black Rock Kitchen highlights the best of Maui and Hawaii’s farmers, fishermen, and ranchers in its cuisine.

In December 2014, the resort launched the Table to Farm dining series as an opportunity to highlight the relationship between the resort’s chefs and local farmers.

The Table to Farm events begin with a farm-inspired wine paired dinner at the oceanfront resort’s Black Rock Kitchen.

32

MENU | MENU-MAGAZINE.COM

“Re: Think Local” Led by the Executive Chef Greg Gaspar, guests enjoy a five course dinner featuring Maui grown ingredients along with handselected wine pairings. The winemaker and farmer join the chef to engage in a talk story session with the dinner guests. The following morning guests take a private tour to a local farm to see firsthand how the farm operates. The farm tour continues with a cooking demonstration and gourmet lunch in the field.

“This interactive dining experience enables guests to get a deeper look at what they are eating, the farms in which their food is being grown, and the people behind all of it” explains Brian Hunnings, Executive Assistant Manager of the Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa. In December the resort partnered with the Maui Dragon Fruit farm and Franciscan winery for the event. “It’s not your typical experience,” continues Hunnings. “People walk away with their perspectives completely changed. They see what passion these farmers have for their crops and the chefs have for the ingredients they work with and serve. It’s a labor of love and creativity.”

In May 2015 Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa’s Table to Farm event took guests to Island Fresh Herbs farm in Kula to see the green houses of micro greens, fields of herbs and root plants, edible flowers, citrus trees and more. From the farm the group traveled to the vineyard of Maui Wines in Ulupalakua – an area not open to the public. “Tasting dishes paired with wines right in the location they are grown and talking story with the chef and winemaker is really special. An experience not easily forgotten,” explains Hunnings.

Table to farm events are scheduled throughout the year. For those unable to make the event, local farm inspired dishes are available throughout the year at Black Rock Kitchen. Groups of 20 or more may book private events.

Earlier this year, the winner of the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for 2015, 2014 and 2013, and Gold ‘Aipono Award for Best Italian from Maui Nō Ka ‘Oi Magazine for three consecutive years (2015, 2014 and 2013), named Maui’s own Alvin Savella its chef de cuisine. Since his appointment, Chef Savella has personalized Pūlehu by introducing an entirely new menu.

Among the new entrees are: ‘Ahi Carpaccio with shaved fennel, garlic aioli, lemon oil and guanciale chips; Seared Scallops with smoked pork belly, kabocha puree, Cipollini onion, baby squash and lemon hibiscus; and, a 40 oz.

Chef Savella also presented a new dessert menu, which features three specialties: Budino, Textures of Tiramisu and Zeppole.

“featuring Maui’s most extreme fire knife dance...”

Wailele Polynesian Luau

T

“Every time I perform the Fijian dance, I represent all my ancestors that have gone before me......” Chief Atu

he elements of earth, fire and water reflect the rich Polynesian culture through superb performances at Wailele Polynesian Luau dinner show. Highlights include the story of Pele, Goddess of Fire and Hi’ilave Hula Awana dedicated to Wailele (meaning waterfalls).

Here, guests will embark on a vibrant and exciting journey to the Polynesian Islands where dance was considered not just as a form of entertainment, but as a means of telling stories.

My name is Atunaisa Laqeretabua.

I come from a long line of warriors, called the "BATI", the feared warriors, the protector of the clan, the village, the province and the first line of defense. I also come from a long line of chiefs, the "mata ki Bau".

MENU | MENU-MAGAZINE.COM

With its unique indoor-outdoor feel, the oceanfront Aloha Pavilion at The Westin Maui Resort & Spa sets the mood and ambience for guests to enjoy an outdoor experience at Wailele Polynesian Luau. Steps away from pristine Ka’anapali Beach, tropical gardens with palm trees and soothing sounds of waterfalls enhance the setting for an unforgettable evening of fun, food, culture and entertainment.

Upon arrival, you will be welcomed with a shell lei greeting that makes a memorable keepsake. As you are served tropical drinks, make your way to the luau gardens for a photo with the dancers, visit artisan

crafters with their handmade cultural pieces or ‘talk story’ with the wood carver as he designs and crafts unique pieces.

Amidst a spectacular sunset, the show opens with a conch shell blowing ceremony, followed by the traditional torch lighting ritual. Show host Atunaisa Laqeretabua or Chief Atu, as he is reverently called, invites guests to learn about the Polynesian way of life, including the art of husking a coconut and sampling the fresh coconut water. The interactive activity has everyone in much laughter, as Chief Atu invites a guest or two to join him on stage.

Dinner is served buffet style with a lavish spread of traditional favorites such as Lomi Lomi Salmon with Kula tomatoes, Maui onion and scallions, Pipi Kaula Poke (peppered-dry beef) with sesame and soy sauce and Island Poi. Fresh salads with papaya seed, kula lavender and coconut ranch dressing accompany the main entrees that include Kalua Pua’a which is a slow-roasted pork dish, Huli Huli Chicken with guava barbeque sauce, Steamed I’a (fish) with ginger and tomato relish, Pa’ia Dry Mein Noodles plantation-style, Upcountry Maui vegetables and Moloka’i Sweet Potatoes. Desserts such as Pineapple Upside Down Cake, Guava Chiffon, Chocolate Chantilly Cake and Hawaiian Haupia coconut cake are served with coffee and tea.

“What is unique with this show is that you can still enjoy your meal during the performances and return to the buffet spread for more helpings. It is very family-friendly too,” said resort executive sous chef Ikaika Manaku.

Drinks and cocktails, locally-brewed beers, sodas, and fruit juices are all inclusive with the meal.

The show itself boasts Maui’s most extreme fire knife dance called “Siva Afi”. The spell-bound performance includes agile Samoan dancers spinning and twirling fire knives between one another and from different elevations. If you are lucky, you may even catch a dancer climb a palm tree and perch midway as he begins twirling in thin air. As fire knife dancer

Desmond Sula says, “You will never see a performance like ours anywhere and it will far exceed any of your expectations.”

The exciting Polynesian revue also includes dances and songs from Tahiti, Fiji, New Zealand (Maori), Tonga, Samoa and Hawaii.

From Kahiko chants symbolizing old Hawaii where dancers perform in traditional Pa’u skirts to the modern interpretation of Hawaii through Hapa Haole Implements dance with a vivacious feel, each dance is truly extraordinary.

Another distinctive feature that sets Wailele Polynesian Luau apart is the Fijian Warrior Dance known as “Meke Wesi”. Led by Chief Atu who is a real Fijian chief, the performance

uses clubs and spears depicting scenes where warriors get ready and perform war tactics.

The attire including neckpieces were designed

by Chief Atu for an authentic appearance.

If you are seeking an exhilarating cultural performance during your visit to the Hawaiian islands, catch the Wailele Polynesian Luau held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. A Sunday show is added during holiday seasons.

“Hawai‘i’s first Constitution was adopted at Lahaina”

W

hen the first Polynesian settlers arrived on Maui’s shores well over a thousand years ago, Lahaina offered them abundant freshwater streams, verdant valleys with fertile volcanic soil, a bountiful pristine sea and warm, sunny days. Steeped in a history which documents its progress from one era to another, Lahaina has retained a flavor of each to this day.

Once the Hawaiians were settled in Lahaina they established Moku‘ula, the sacred island within a fishpond, which was a royal residence for ali‘i of Maui since the 16th century. After the decisive battle of ‘Iao Valley in 1790, which resulted in unifying the Hawaiian Islands, Kamehameha I made a political move to unite himself with the women of Maui’s royal line. It is with this marriage of powerful royal lines that Lahaina became the first Capital of the Kingdom of Hawai‘i.

1819 was a pivotal year for Lahaina and the Hawaiian Kingdom.

Kamehameha the Great died and was succeeded by his son, Liholiho (Kamehameha II). The first whaling ships as well as the first French warship visited Lahaina, marking a sea change in the traditions of old Hawai‘i. By 1823, Christian missionaries

arrived in Lahaina, and Keopuolani (Kamehameha I’s sacred first wife) became an early convert. Kauikeaouli (Kamehameha III) succeeded to the throne as a child and was left under the care of Regent Ka‘ahumanu (Kamehameha the Great’s second wife).

The first half of the 19th century is filled with “firsts” for Hawai‘i: the peak of the whaling industry impacted Lahaina; a cornerstone was laid for the first church; Lahainaluna Mission School opened; and the first printing press was started there. Hawai‘i’s first Constitution was adopted at Lahaina and a legislative session was held in 1840. But by 1845, the Royal Court left Lahaina and moved the capital to Honolulu.

In 1873, Sheriff Smith planted Lahaina’s Banyan Tree, now the largest in the US. And in 1877, the first telephone and telegraph lines in all of Hawai‘i were installed on Maui.

The 20th century rooted the plantation era in Hawai‘i. In 1901, Pioneer Hotel opened and remained Lahaina’s only hotel until the early 1960s. By the 1950s, family-owned fish markets, stores and noodle shops were thriving, supplying plantation workers and visitors alike. As Hawai‘i became the 50th State, Hollywood became fascinated with Lahaina and several movies and TV shows were filmed in town. Celebrity musicians, film and TV stars are still frequently attracted to Lahaina today.

FEATURE STORY Kobe Japanese Steak House & Oku’s Sushi Bar

Happy 30th Birthday!

T

here are a number of types of Japanese restaurants and Maui's KOBE JAPANESE STEAK HOUSE in Lahaina, has been voted #1 Japanese Restaurant by Maui News Readers and is now celebrating their 30th anniversary . Located just off Front Street, the teppanyaki-style steakhouse is an anchor Maui treasure.

ROD GARDINER originally started Kobe on Maui in 1986 and MARTHA HALEAKALA came on board as his office manager in October of 1993. Martha bought KOBE JAPANESE STEAK HOUSE from Rod in 2002 and has enjoyed running this fabulous and entertaining restaurant for for 13 years now!

Martha's Head Chef Felamor Simon, has been with Kobe since 2002 and has been a teppan chef for 34 years now. Martha's second chef, Silver Agbayani started working with her bussing tables while in high school and has worked his way up to # 2 teppan chef. Perseverance furthers!

Many of her employees, Eileen Hirouji, Richard Acosta, Manuel Sanchez, Scot Nakamura, Guadalupe Ilar have been with Kobe for over 20 years.. Guada has been with Kobe since Day One! Oku of Oku's Sushi Bar moved to Maui's Kobe in 1996 after having worked for Rod in the Waikiki Kobe for many years. He prides himself in having the freshest fish for your sushi and sashimi dishes!

Teppan means “steel grill” and yaki means “grilled” simply making it “grilling on a grill”. In 1945 a restaurant in Japan first introduced the show concept which was as much about the performance skills of the chefs with their fast, clinking, shiny, and very sharp knives and their sense of humor as it was about food. It soon became very popular with the visitors to Japan as an entertaining Japanese dining experience.

Teppanyaki-style or “Japanese steakhouses" as they came to be popularly known came to the United States in 1964 with the first opening in New York. “Japanese steakhouses” really took off after a well known food critic with the New York Tribune gave it a rave review. It became the place to go to see and be seen for all the celebreties of the time.

Kobe Japanese Steak House in Lahaina continues with the tradition to place an emphasis on the talents of the chef performing a show for the diners, continuing to introduce new variations and tricks. Besides being master chefs, each Teppanyaki Chef is an entertainer. Each Chef has his own table-side manner and unique sense of humor making

every trip an experience.

The talented chef might juggle utensils, flip a shrimp tail into his/her shirt pocket, catch an egg in their hat, toss an egg up in the air and split it with a spatula or flip flattened shrimp pieces into the diners' mouths.

The Kobe Japanese Steak House & Oku's Sushi Bar has nineteen teppans or grills, with ten downstairs and nine in the upstairs dining room as well as the great Oku’s Sushi Bar. There is a full Island cocktail bar featuring many great specialty drinks. These include saké (in English) which in Japanese, saké or o- saké refers to alcoholic drinks in general.

The Japanese term for this specific rice wine, which is brewed more like beer than wine, is Nihonshu, meaning “Japanese saké”.

At Kobe Japanese Steak House & Oku's Sushi Bar, though the entertainment factor is high, the quality of their food is just as important. You can start with the Spicy Tuna Roll and the Shrimp Tempura Roll from the sushi bar followed by the Nova Scotia Scallop Appetizer and Shabu-Shabu soup.

One choice for your main course is the firm-fleshed cold water lobster and steak combo which can be upgraded to the tender aged beef filet.

You can opt for the regular white rice or garlic fried rice. The fresh shrimp is delicious and entertaining and the tail provided our chef an extra prop to flip around and finally end up on his head hidden in his chef’s hat or toque. Hopefully he found it later that night.

I shared the teppan (grill) with a friendly local Japanese family. They said they had been to Kobe Japanese Steak House before on a karaoke night with the always entertaining Toddy Lilikoi, Friday and Saturday evenings from 9:30 pm until closing.

If you have secretly always wanted to be a singer or a Rock Star, Karaoke is a form of interactive entertainment in which amateur singers sing along with recorded music using a microphone. The music is typically a well-known pop song minus the lead vocal with lyrics displayed on a video screen. It is loads of fun to participate or even just watch. If you have not experienced it you should do it at least once and your vacation is as good a time as any. (see pages 48 and 49)

FEATURE STORY

On the Beach!

“farm to table cuisine with the best view in town”

F

arm to Table is not a new concept, however it is something society has gotten away from and is something we are finally seeing a return to. People have always grown their own food and bought or traded from nearby farmers. They did this knowing the food they put on their plates and into their bodies was fresh, local, and for the most part, organic. This same food can be in transit for weeks now. With the rise of the Industrial Revolution, refrigeration and the general populous moving into more urbanized areas, food is now being transported thousands of miles and is no longer picked from the farm and served within a day or so. This has a huge impact on Hawaii.

Bringing quality locally sourced ingredients back to the table proves challenging at times, conversely Pacific’O thrives on doing just that. Ocean front on a white sandy beach in Lahaina, Pacific’O was the first restaurant on Maui to endeavor operating its own farm, O’o Farm, with exclusive use for the restaurant. Our Chef is continuously inspired; poised to make original and exotic dishes, not only delicious, but nutritious.

Nutrients and flavor dissipate quickly. So the longer the 54

MENU | MENU-MAGAZINE.COM

time between harvest and your fork, the more quality is lost. It’s not uncommon to have our produced delivered the day it is harvested and on your plate within hours.

At O’o Farm we offer guided foot tours of our orchards and gardens, through rows of beets, heirloom carrots, radishes, pole beans, coffee trees etc… In addition to educating our guests on these tours, we often invite them to help gather or harvest our fresh produce and incorporate it into our gourmet lunch. It’s not uncommon for the aromas of our Maui grown coffee beans being freshly roasted, to make their way across the farm. We are proud to showcase our new coffee roasting facility and are now offering a “seed to cup” tour as well.

In addition to farm to table fare, Pacific’O has long held a reputation for having the freshest fish around. We maintain outstanding relationships with several sports fishing boats and daily the fisherman bring in their freshly caught Mahi Mahi, Ono, Opakapaka and the occasional 200lb Tuna, in through our front doors.

There is never a shortage of exciting seasonably inspired dishes @ pacific’O. We’ll see you soon! (pages 52, 53)

LOCAL CHICKS FREE RANGE, LOCAL & LOVED EGG FARM TOUR & GOURMET LUNCH IN LAHAINA In a unique to Maui experience, visit a working egg farm and meet our chicks on the beautiful plateau of Launiupoko with outstanding views of the ocean expanse. First, you will delve into a sense of place, learning about the history of the region beginning with the arrival of Polynesians and Hawaiian ways of life, the era of sugar production, and now, to a modern day agricultural zone. Discover where eggs come from and experience healthy, happy chickens firsthand as a fun learning experience, or for inspiration in creating your own chicken coop at home. In a “managed free range” system, our chickens behave just like chickens naturally do, roosting, brooding, and munching on fresh bugs and grass amidst fruit tress and diverse vegetation such as mangoes, papayas, bananas, acerola cherry trees, grapefruits, and starfruits. You will even use an antique machine from the plantation era to grind up buffalo grass and feed the chickens! Children are most welcome and we often have baby chicks that are a delight to cuddle!

The tour will be followed by a gourmet lunch featuring these delicious and local eggs, at the seaside restaurant of Pacific’O in Lahaina. Taste eggs like you have never tasted them before! Our chef will prepare his unique 63° egg served with fried polenta, field greens, Nagasaki braised pork and pecorino followed by a homemade dessert of banana - bread pudding with brandy butter sauce and vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

13 Limes (some juice saved for the pico de gallo) 2 Pounds of fresh fish either Mahi or Ono (preferably Ono) 2 Tomatoes 2 Cups shredded Cabbage 1/2 Red Onion 1/2 Yellow Onion 3 Serrano Chilies (1 for garnish) 1 small bunch of Cilantro 2 Avocados 4 TBSP olive oil salt pepper Tortilla Chips

Method:

Juice all 13 Limes, preserve the juice in a container.

56

MENU | MENU-MAGAZINE.COM

Put fish in a metal or glass bowl, cover completely with lime juice, saving about 1/3 cup for the pico de gallo. Wrap bowl in Saran Wrap and refrigerate for 3-4 hours, Chop tomatoes, onions, and Serrano's (saving 1 for garnish) as small as you can (especially the Serrano's). Mince cilantro and put all the veggies into container, add remaining lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste (should be quite a bit as we're going to drain the juice from the pico).

Chill in the refrigerator while the fish is finishing. When the fish is ready put into a mesh strainer and strain the fish from the lime juice, put fish into a bowl. Drain most of the juice from the pico de gallo reserving some and add to the bowl with the fish. Mix well and add the olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper Slice remaining Serrano and avocado into small slices. Put cabbage into bottom of serving bowl(s), top with the ceviche Juice and all.

Top the Ceviche with the sliced avocados and Serrano Chiles. Serve with Tortilla Chips.

Haleakala holds a sacred place in Hawaiian history and became part of the Hawaii National Park in 1916, branching into it's own park in 1961. The Hawaiian people sought the isolation of Haleakalā for ceremonial purposes, instruction and personal reasons. There is a wide spectrum of native island ecosystems which is protected and preserved by the national park system. The park includes Kipahulu Valley on the south east and Ohe‘o Gulch. There are two main trails leading into Haleakala: Sliding Sands Trail and Halemau‘u Trail.

Maui’s Historic

aiku Mill...

"A Slice of History Creating New Memories...

The Courtyard

The Cane House

O

ne of Maui's many hidden and delightful gems, is Maui’s historic Haiku Mill. A bit hard to find, one travels along the country road in Haiku then down a road that you are sure is not the correct way! You pass by the hidden and gorgeous expansive tree surrounded Baldwin estate on your right and just past that on the left behind an unobtrusive gate, is the historical landmark. It is a piece of old Maui as most visitors have never seen. Haiku Mill is an amazing property emanating an old time Hawaiian/European plantation feel. It is still a partial ruin and parts have been renovated while keeping the original structures. Along with the very tasteful decor, many of the furnishings are beautiful rusty original pieces picked up in France from the 1800s.

Upon entering the property, one walks up to the open air reception area, yards of white canvas curtains hang from the 30 ft tall beams enhancing the charm of the large sitting, cocktail area which is called The Courtyard. Matching white canvas couches with vintage tables create and old world meets new effect. Simply gorgeous.

Walking towards the dining venue, which is the actual old mill, is the banyan tree with hanging lights sparkling from its many branches especially enchanting in the twilight. Just past that sits the The Cane House. Completely redone in white canvas couches and the same furnishings brought over from France complete the old world meets new look. Everything including the walls, fixtures and all the textiles are done in white, enhancing the charming old French furnishings. We walked back down The Cane House stairs and to the right we could see the entrance to the Haiku Mill.

…a vision of beauty, passion and love.”

Haunting strains of music fills the air and the mill is alit with many candles, illuminating the vines that intertwine above. A gorgeous crystal chandelier showcases the banquet style table set with vintage wine glasses and artisan ceramic plates. Flowers adorn the tables creating a scene that you will never forget. A truely new experience even for kama'ainas (old timers). This is a celebration of fine dining venues at it's best. The dishes are fabulous and created by Capische? Chef de Cuisine Chris Kulis.

His passion for finely created dishes with great attention to detail for every course is perfectly showcased in this environ!

He forages for organic herbs and vegetables using local fresh ingredients sourced directly from Maui’s fields, ranches and waters. Each dish is paired brilliantly with a different fine wine to bring you a meal you will not forget.

A celebration of life at its best.

Many of Maui’s residents have no idea that Haiku Mill is even in existance, myself included. Along Maui’s northeastern coast, caressed by the trade winds, two acres of historic ruins and lush tropical gardens rise dramatically against a Hawaiian sky. The Haiku Sugar Mill, also known as Pua Le‘a (“blossoming passion” in Hawaiian), blends the stunning natural beauty of Hawaii with the Old World elegance of Europe.

In 1858, when the Haiku Sugar Company was chartered, construction began on the Mill. Upon completion three years later in 1861, the Mill processed its very first crop using the leading edge technology of the time: a steam engine to grind the cane.

This marked the beginning of nearly 20 years of successful sugar cane production in Haiku.

In 1879, after years as a hub of sugar production, the Mill was abandoned, left for over a century to gently decay into ruin. The vines and lush vegetation grew and covered the thick stone walls, turning the Mill into the beautiful structure we see today. 20 years ago an immense restoration effort to revive the true spirit of the Mill began. They transformed the abandoned ruins from a decrepit sugar factory into the blossoming hidden treasure it is today and renamed it the simpler, more poetic “Haiku Mill”.

Haiku Mill has found its raison d'etre in the 21st Century.

Tres bien!

Haiku Mill has partnered with renowned Hotel Waileabased restaurant Capische? to offer a high-end dinner experience with Chef de Cuisine Christopher Kulis.

Guests can now enjoy the fine dining destination’s award-winning menus in the intimate, tranquil setting of Maui’s historic Haiku Mill. 30 tickets will be available for sale per event.

M

ost of south Maui’s history lies along its coastline.

From the shores of Ma‘a‘laea Bay to the beaches of Makena are heard past echoes of Hawaiian fishing villages, busy harbors, sugar plantations, WWII military exercises and cattle ranching Captain George Vancouver set anchor in Ma‘alaea in 1793 and is best known for his numerous, but unsuccessful attempts to bring peace between Kings Kamehameha of Hawaii and Ka‘hekili of Maui.

On the way to Kihei, is the Kealia National Wildlife Refuge boardwalk on North Kihei road, Hwy. 310. Large sea turtles use the area to cross the road to the pond to lay their eggs. At the Kihei Memorial Beach is the historic Kihei Landing, where a 200 foot wharf, used for many years by interisland boats shipping freight and produce. Due to increases in sand accumulation, it became impossible for the larger sea vessels to reach the wharf, usage stopped around 1915.

As early as the 1800’s, before the southern slopes of Haleakala became farm and ranch land, the southern coast of Maui is said to have been lush rainforest, with coconut and Kou trees, taro and ‘ape, clear water pools found at the end of freshwater streams.

You can still see remnants of concrete bunkers, left when the beaches and land parcels on the coastline were confiscated by the government during WWII for military training exercises.

Charley Young Beach, aka The Cover, was named after a military reporter named Charley Young who purchased property in the Kama’ole area just before WWII. The “Cove” is a favorite spot for novice surfers and when tide is out, it is wonderfully shallow for kids and adults! The original Kihei Boat ramp was located here but closed in 1983.

FEATURE STORY

MAUI THAI BISTRO & BRASSERIE “Thai Cuisine — A New Orthodoxy?”

Few would argue that the singlemost important event in the history of food is the discovery of America. What followed that has come to be known as the Columbian Exchange (CE). Prior to CE, there was no tomato in Spanish or Italian cuisine, no beef or banana in the New World, no pineapple in Hawaii, and no chili pepper in the Thai cuisine. Since spiciness is a point of pride among many Thai food aficionados, we asked Chit Tharnthong, co-owner of the popular new South Maui hotspot, Maui Thai Bistro, to provide the context for the growing popularity of Thai cuisine.

by Chit Tharnthong

A

ndy Ricker, James Beard winner and famed Thai chef of gargantuan proportions, has banned the use of the words "authentic" as well as "traditional" in his Pok Pok restaurants.

What follows is an interview (translated from Thai) with Chef Prakong of Maui Thai Bistro.

Int: Do you agree with Andy Ricker that authenticity is, essentially, an absurd idea?

Chef P: Totally! I think though that Andy is reacting to the equating of spiciness level with authenticity, which I agree is wrong! In fact the chili pepper, which originated from Central America, came to Thailand rather late, certainly less than 200 years ago. I eat spicier food than just about anybody I know,

Chef P: Not traditional certainly, but there are at least two good reasons for that dish. The first reason is that we strive, where we can, to use, indeed to honor, local produce, hence we substitute macnut for the lowly peanut. And the second reason is that it is a far better dish for the substitution! Let me add a point here, which is that, Thai cuisine, like the culture that encloses it, is a living thing so that many foods of our childhood are no longer available!

I actually sense rather strongly that Thais are driven to innovate (within the sphere of food), so that our ancestors would be horrified if we were to stand still...

Some other non-traditional dishes that make an appearance on the Specials Menu are NZ lamb chops with Thai green peppercorn & holy basil sauce ($24), Alaskan king crab in dry curry sauce ($25), and more...

Maui Thai Bistro is pleased to announce the opening of its bar extension, aka The Brasserie. The Brasserie's manager, Cory Wymer, promises fireworks at this newest South Maui hotspot. Seasoned travelers will know that Thai cocktails have become one of Thailand 's most exciting exports in recent years. To celebrate this exciting new addition, Chef Prakong will unveil several new single-plate dishes, which should prove popular with bar-goers as these can easily be consumed at our new full-service bar. but that is probably due to my upbringing in Isaan, where we didn't even have electricity, let alone refrigeration, in my earlier years. The chili peppers were a real boon, especially among the poorer regions, because of their anti-microbial properties, as well as the ability to cover up short shelf-life foods.

Int: But beyond spice, is the concept of authenticity valid? For example, one of your signature dishes is your Macadamia nut panang with short ribs - you'd agree that it isn't everyone's idea of a traditional Thai dish…

Happy 20th Birthday 5 Palms!

T

he 5 Palms was named for the original five partners, not trees. Many people count the many palm trees and wonder...

Owner Simon Vojdani has been the quiet, continuing force in tight management improvements and expansion since 1995. Before purchasing 5 Palms, he worked his way from a dishwasher to President of the Specialty Restaurant Corporation, based in Orange County, CA. During his reign (1969-1995), he operated 92 restaurants nationwide.

Vojdani put himself through college as an ESL immigrant, achieving his Master's in Engineering at UC Berkeley. Over his 45 years in the restaurant industry, he has worked in every single position in a fine dining restaurant. Simon and his wife Victoria met at the former Castaway Restaurant in Oakland, CA in 1977. He was the manager, she was the bartender... a restaurant family from the start.

Their early family history includes Stephanie, 14 years old when they first took over Five Palms Beach Grill. The deli at the Mana Kai is son Zack's namesake. He is also the Front of House Supervisor for 5 Palms.

“You can hear past echos of Hawaiian fishing villages from the shores of Ma‘a‘lea Bay to the beaches of Makena....”

B

efore there was water, there was nothing but kiawe trees, shrubs and cactus where Wailea now stands.

But there were beaches! South Kihei Road merged into Makena Road, all a part of the original King’s Highway, or Alaloa, built in the 1500’s to encircle the entire island of Maui. Alexander and Baldwin purchased the 1,500 acres of former Ulupalakua grazing land in the late 1960’s. With water on its way from Central Maui, The Wailea Development Co., created in 1971, began to turn this desert land back into the lush, tropical paradise of yester-year with first-class luxury vacation resorts. South Kihei to Makena Road was cut short and removed to accommodate the development resuming further down the coastline. The first Wailea Resort to open its doors was the Maui Intercontinental Wailea Resort in 1976.

With the development of Wailea came the Wailea Shopping Village, completed in the mid 70’s. This quaint little shopping center was home to about 27 merchants and eventually sold to Japanese investors, torn down in 1998 and replaced with the Shops of Wailea, which reopened in 2000.

Wailea is home to a two-mile stretch of shoreline starting with Mokapu Beach, fronting what used to be Stouffers Resort. Ulua Beach Park, a nice little snorkeling spot fronts the Wailea Beach Marriott. Over the years, all of the large resort hotels have changed ownership and names. Separated by Wailea Point is Polo Beach,.

This where Wailea ends and Makena begins. South of Polo Beach lies Palauea Beach accessible only by walking or north of Po’olenalena Beach.

Built in the 1800’s, Makena Landing was one of the busiest ports on Maui and serviced the Makee sugar plantation. After prolonged draught closed the plantation in 1879, it became Ulupalakua Ranch and Makena Landing gained prominence, transporting cattle on interisland steamers. Makena village had a thriving population, but the mid-1920’s brought an end to interisland steamers and caused a steep decline in the population.

Oneloa Beach, known as Big Beach or Makena Beach, is a very long and wide stretch of beach and is great for swimming and snorkeling, Please be careful of it's rough shorebreak.

The Artists of Maui Hands

Spotlight on: Jeanne Young • Linda Whittemore • Noreen Tretick

I

explore any subject and style that stimulates my artistic passion. Eventually I always seem to come back to people and all the beautiful ways that we engage with life. A favorite subject is people and water. The energy and power of the ocean combined with the seemingly effortless skill of surfers in the waves is so much fun for me to paint. There’s just something about taking all my old-school training and applying it to such a joyful pursuit that brings me great satisfaction. - Jeanne Young

T

Jeanne Young Little Beachcomber

I

n her Kihei studio and on a printmaking press, Linda Whittemore works in a style called viscosity monotype. Her original artwork is a story of color and mood and as abstracted landscapes, her surroundings are a never-ending source for new creations. Often, watercolor paintings are a prelude to her original monotypes. “It’s all a process, one medium leads to the next. We create from what we know or don’t know. My paintings are who I am.” There is a beautiful pure honesty about her work that comes through to the viewer.

From body maintenance and services to pampering yourself at the spa, let the following pages guide you to your new favorites.

T

he regions of Earth that lie within approximately 1,600 miles north and south of the Equator are known as “the tropics.” In the northern hemisphere, we have the Tropic of Cancer to define the northernmost boundary, while the Tropic of Capricorn delineates the southern hemisphere’s boundary. The Hawaiian Islands lie just south of the northern edge of the Tropic of Cancer at an average of 21º north latitude.

Since the sun shines directly overhead in the tropics and is particularly strong in the summer, producing higher temperatures with its direct rays, your skin is more prone to sunburn. Although humans come with a built-in sun protection, melanocyte cells, which produce the skin darkening substance called melanin, it’s usually not enough armor to combat prolonged exposure to the sun’s rays.

Over exposure to UV rays can hurry along premature aging of the skin. These rays penetrate deep into the skin, dehydrating it and damaging tissues. These days, with global warming coming into play, the best thing you can do for your skin is to always wear sunblock making sure that they have UVA and UVB protection. Don’t be deceived by clouds overhead as they let UV rays come through to the earth, although not felt as heat. These rays can penetrate water down to three feet. And don‘t forget about water!

Drinking water throughout the day not only replenishes moisture lost from heat and perspiration, but also helps to flush toxins out of the body and keep skin glowing.

We also offer spa services such as the facial/ DermaSweep combination and peels which are ideal for creating a lasting vibrance and a healthy glow. To top it off, using custom picked products for your skin's specific needs, my team of skincare specialists will create a homecare regimen to keep your skin looking amazing following your treatments.

That's good to know Dr. Stolley.

So how do you determine which treatments and products are best for your patients?

Before IPL

D

After IPL

r. Stolley, what do you recommend your patients do while they are on Maui so they can look the most rejuvenated by the time they return home?

That's a great question Jo Anne. In my experience, the fastest way for my patients to look their best with little to no downtime is to use a combination of BOTOX and fillers such as Juvederm. With these two treatments we can relax away and fill-in years of lines and wrinkles, all in approximately 30 minutes. It is quite amazing. But for those who want to maximize their skin rejuvenation and youthful appearance, we recommend combining BOTOX and fillers with Light and Laser treatments. The Ulthera Treatment is a perfect option as it tightens 100

MENU | MENU-MAGAZINE.COM

Well, every patient is offered a complimentary cosmetic consultation to determine what is best for their specific needs. That way we can customize a cosmetic treatment package best suited for them.

Can you give me some examples of how you might use specific treatments or products to help your patients look their best?

Sure Jo Anne, for example, if someone has action lines such as squint lines, frown lines (The Elevens), horizontal forehead lines, etc, we most often use BOTOX to relax away the wrinkles. If our patient needs a lift but does not want the risk, cost or downtime associated with surgery, they may be a good candidate for a Liquid Lift. This is a technique I do regularly in which I use fillers such as Artefill, Juvederm, Radiesse, Restylane and Perlane to lift and re-volumize the face as well as fill in individual lines and wrinkles. Juvederm can also be used

to re-volumize and enhance the lips. If our patients need to rejuvenate entire areas such as the face, neck, chest and/or hands, we often perform light and laser treatments. Our most popular treatments include Ultherapy to tighten and lift, IPL (Photofacial) to treat brown spots and blood vessels, the Palomar 1540 to improve texture with limited downtime, and of course the Lumenis FX fractional CO2 laser to improve texture, tone and tightening all with one treatment. The FX can take 5-10 years off of your appearance in less than 1 hour, but you will need a little time for the skin to heal.

Wow, that makes a lot of sense. So Dr. Stolley, is there anything new that we should know about?

Absolutely, coolsculpting by zeltiq is a novel way to reduce stubborn areas of fat using controlled cooling. After an hour treatment, on average, our patients will see a 20-25% reduction in fat in the treated area. And then there is thermirf or thermitight. This device uses a small probe we place under the skin to create controlled heating to dramatically tighten the skin. We use it often in the lower face and neck regions, but it can also be used in other body areas to achieve impressive skin tightening. This procedure produces more skin tightening then any other treatment that i've seen in my years in this field of medicine.

Exfoliation is often used to resolve certain ailments, including the prevention of body acne, avoiding ingrown hairs, evening out skin tone, as well as keeping the skin healthy and glowing. Both men and women should use weekly scrubs to keep their skin supple and free of wrinkles.

The history of exfoliation can be traced back to ancient Europe, Asia, and Egypt, when abrasive grains, minerals, and alabaster particles were used for obtaining a softer, smoother, less aged appearance.

The ancient Polynesians would exfoliate by rubbing their skin with fine seashell sand.

For choosing your own exfoliation techniques, you can decide to use the ways of our ancestors, or you can use ingredients found in your very own kitchen: sea-salt, raw sugar, corncobs, poppy seeds, oatmeal, coffee, fine grains, and peach kernels, can all be used as healthy exfoliants. For your more relaxing, extensive body scrubbing needs, pay a well-deserved visit to the spa.

Traditionally, spa body scrubs begin by having a soak in a shower with warm to hot water for a few minutes; you might also

spend time relaxing in the sauna or steam room. The soaking and heat treatments soften the skin, and prepare it for the scrub.

The therapist will then start the scrub, using only warm water and either mitts made of a gently abrasive viscose material, or a granular ointment. The therapist then rinses the dead skin away using warm water, and will continue the scrub until all the dead skin has been washed away. A traditional body scrub usually will include a thorough hair wash, a rinsing with milk, or an application of a nourishing body mask.

A visit to Olavine Spa will grant you access to the new, just launched “Nature’s Scrub Bar”. You can choose from a list of simple All-Natural Exfoliants for your skin: sugar grains, Kona coffee, almond powder, sea salt, and baking soda. The therapists at Olavine Spa use a warm water scrubbing mixture and milk, due to it's gentler quality on the skin and yields better results. The scrub helps with the whole detoxification process by opening up the pores for a deep clean, and with the improved blood circulation, the skin is healthier.

If you think it’s going to be difficult to incorporate natural exfoliation into your routine, just call your favorite spa and book a scrub. Once you get used to having such bright skin, you’ll never want to go back.

New Technology for Non-Invasive Healing ”ONDAMED® is the most advanced sports injury technology in the 21st century“ Ondamed was invented in Schwanau, Germany by Rolf Binder, electronic engineer. The technology is the result of 25 years of research in biophysical medical testing and therapy that resulted in the development of several well known and sophisticated therapeutic devices. On the basis of this experience, Rolf Binder discovered how to interrogate the body’s communication systems and introduce signals that stimulate the natural healing process. Medical professionals worldwide have been using Ondamed with remarkable success for over a decade.

Over 50 years, scientists and engineers have developed various techniques for “looking” inside the body to diagnose disease and trauma. Examples include X-rays, CT scans, MRI, Ultrasound, etc. Likewise treatments are provided by the energy from lasers, the Gamma Knife and so on. Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF) are yet another non-invasive breakthrough treatment modality. Ondamed combines PEMF with pulse biofeedback to enable the practitioner to relieve pain, improve cell function and circulation, and promote relaxation.

Compliments of Dr. Ian Cholewa

Ondamed is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The device produces a highly focused pulsed electromagnetic field that penetrates deep into the target region of the body to painlessly stimulate tissues and “jump-start” cellular activities.

The Ondamed system complements other treatments such as pharmaceuticals, homeopathic medicines, nutritional supplements and other therapeutic modalities; patients respond faster and the effects are longer lasting.

A unique feature of Ondamed is to enable the practitioner to monitor patients’ responses to a wide variety of subtle electromagnetic fields introduced through a neck applicator, and select which frequencies or frequency programs are most appropriate. These signals are then introduced with a hand-held applicator and/or larger matrix applicator.

A typical treatment lasts about 30 minutes. Patients consistently report leaving a session feeling less pain, more relaxed and refreshed, able to think more clearly and better prepared for life’s challenges.
