Hiki iaʻu ke hoʻolilo i mau hola i ka hana ʻana i nā ʻano palaoa like ʻole a me nā huahana palaoa, mai ka baklava a i ka brownies. Makemake ʻo Tūtū i ke aʻo ʻana mai iaʻu i nā ʻano mea ʻai like ʻole, hiki iā mākou ke hoʻopau i ka lā holoʻokoʻa ma hope o kēia haʻawina. Ua lilo koʻu makemake i hana ʻoihana ma hope koke iho o koʻu puka ʻana mai ke kulanui, kahi aʻu i aʻo ai i ka hana noʻeau. I koʻu aʻo ʻana ma ke kulanui, ua kāohi au i ka makemake nui a me ka hoihoi i ka kuke ʻana. Ma hope o ka puka ʻana, ua lawe au i kahi hana ma ke ʻano he chef a ua hana pū me kahi chef i kapa ʻia ʻo Ben Hodges, ʻo ia kaʻu i lilo i kumu aʻo a me ka hoʻoikaika nui.
Ua loaʻa iaʻu ka inoa ʻo "the Natural Cook" mai ka inoa o ka puke a me koʻu kaulana ma ke ʻano he eco-chef. Ke manaʻoʻiʻo nei au ʻoi aku ka nui o ke ʻano o ka pono o kā mākou meaʻai ma mua o kona ʻono. ʻO ka kuke ʻana ʻaʻole e hoʻoweliweli i ke kaiapuni kahi ʻano kuke kūikawā. Hoʻohana ʻia kēlā ʻano kuke i ka wā, nā mea kanu maikaʻi i ulu ʻia e nā kamaʻāina, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi me ka mālama a me ka nānā.
I kaʻu ʻoihana, ʻoi aku ka koʻikoʻi e like me ka loaʻa kālā. Loaʻa iā mākou ʻekolu "pou" o nā waiwai, ʻo ia hoʻi, me ka loaʻa kālā, e komo pū me nā kānaka a me ka honua. Me ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i nā mea nui a me nā loina, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻoholo ʻana. ʻAʻole kēia manaʻo he mea nui ka loaʻa kālā iā mākou: ʻo ia, e like me nā ʻoihana ʻē aʻe, he pahuhopu nui ia o kā mākou hana. ʻO ka ʻokoʻa, ʻaʻole mākou e haʻalele i kekahi mau kumu i hoʻokumu ʻia.
Eia kekahi o lākou:
1) Kūʻai hou ʻia nā huahana a pau, ʻaʻole ma mua o 100 km mai ka hale ʻaina 2) 100% nā huahana kau 3) Nā huaʻai, nā mea kanu 4) Kūʻai mai nā mea hoʻolako pono 5) Kuke me nā meaʻai holoʻokoʻa 6) Hiki ke hiki 7) Hoʻomau ka hana e hōʻemi i ka pau ʻole o ka meaʻai 8) Hana hou a hoʻohana hou
He hoihoi ka ninau. He ʻokoʻa ka hopena o kēlā me kēia ʻoihana a me kēlā me kēia chef i ke kaiapuni a hiki iā ia ke hana i nā loli maikaʻi i loko o kā lākou hoʻokumu ʻana, ʻaʻohe mea liʻiliʻi. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole hiki i nā mea a pau ke lawe mai i nā loli radical i ka ʻoihana a, ʻoi aku, e hōʻoia i kona ʻoluʻolu piha. Makemake wale nā poʻe kuke e kuke i nā meaʻai ʻono a ʻike i nā ʻakaʻaka ma nā maka o kā lākou mau malihini, a no nā poʻe ʻē aʻe he mea nui ka ʻāpana maikaʻi. Maikaʻi nā hihia ʻelua, akā i koʻu manaʻo, he naʻaupō ka haʻalele ʻana i ke kuleana āu e lawe ai ma ke ʻano he chef a ʻoihana paha ma o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kemika i ka kuke ʻana a i ʻole ka hana ʻana i ka nui o ka ʻōpala. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, poina pinepine ka poʻe (a i ʻole e hoʻohālike) i kēia kuleana, e hāʻawi ana i ka mea nui i ka loaʻa kālā.
