Kathy and I have taken cooking classes on several of our trips, so we were excited to experience a…read morefarm-to-table class while in Maui -- not quite knowing what to expect. With the top down in our rented BMW, the drive to the farm was magnificent and set the perfect tone for the day. When we arrived, we were greeted at the gate by Jake, who welcomed us as we waited for the rest of the guests. Once inside the open-air kitchen, Whitney warmly introduced herself and gave us a brief overview of the schedule. Jake then shared an introduction to the land and his farming philosophy. As a former finance manager, I appreciated how clearly he understood both the economics and the regenerative methods that make the farm sustainable and healthy. We began with introductions, sharing where we were from, our names, and what we were grateful for which created an immediate sense of community. Jake then guided us on a tour of the farm, walking us through the plants and trees that would soon become our lunch. We tasted herbs, vegetables, and fruit straight from the earth. His depth of knowledge, from soil health to post-harvest practices was impressive, and he thoughtfully answered every question. After the tour, we moved into meal preparation. Family-style, we chopped, stirred, whisked, and even made our own tortillas. The fresh salsa had a wonderful bite, and preparing the vegetables and eggs ourselves made the meal even more satisfying. To top it all off, we enjoyed a homemade vegan ice cream made with fresh fruit from the farm, the perfect ending. Jake and Whitney were gracious, kind hosts who mingled easily with the group and created an environment that was both educational and welcoming. We highly recommend this class. It was not only delicious, but deeply informative and memorable.

I have had the pleasure of experiencing Fresh Island Catering on two separate occasions while…read morevisiting Maui. The best way to describe it is, intimate fine dining. Chef Josh and his staff come to your house or condo and prepare an amazing dining experience right in front of you. You can either sit and watch all the amazing food being made, or visit among friends and family while it is being prepared. If you wish to watch, Chef and his staff will engage in conversation with you while cooking and serving the delicious courses they are making. For our 2 amazing experiences there were signature drinks which were flavorful and refreshing. It is a succulent, intimate and personal experience for you and your loved ones that you will never forget. The food is as good as any I have ever had, maybe a little better because of the experience that comes with it. Chef will go over the menu when you make a reservation. I have had two dinners, however they also do a brunch which we plan on trying next time we visit. I unfortunately did not take pictures either time because I was at family functions both times and we did not have our phones with us, my photo is the amazing meal we had at our second dinner. This is an amazing experience that I highly recommend.

I make homemade meals, so I know what is freshly made, not store bought. Val started with a tablecloth and flowers. We were served homemade focaccia, plain and with herbs as well as local taro bread and served with homemade Italian garlic butter with rosemary from her garden. Lunch was fresh pineapple fried rice with tofu, fresh broccoli with sesame seeds and almonds and a little butter, local zucchini boats filled with seitan and mozzarella cheese on top, and roasted sweet potatoes. Hawaiian corn on the cob (non-GMO, so smaller and sweeter -- I devoured it!) was served. Dessert was local fresh fruit consisting of apple banana slices, strawberry papaya, & kumquats, mixed with grapes and strawberries and homamade banana bread. This was served with homemade sorbet and local macadamia nut ice cream. Absolutely delicious! Lunch was served quickly (15 minutes early) and the kitchen was clean when she left. It was relaxing to be served and be at home after lunch rather than driving home from a restaurant. It was a wonderful experience.

The guests loved the selections they chose and I overheard many people exclaiming over the creative and delicious meats, cheeses, and fruits the team selected. The Nibble and Nourish team stayed around to answer guests questions about the food and make recommendations. I was able to try a few things and fell in love with a locally made mango-ginger cheese -- so delicious! After the happy guests had departed for the reception, the team boxed up the leftovers and stored them for us. We brought the leftovers to the post-wedding beach bbq the next day! Overall it was a 5-star experience!

Our friend had the açaí bowl and they said it was to die for. You have to find it, it's tucked right behind the Ululani's Hawaii shaved ice. You could miss it if you're not looking for it - and what a shame that would be! This is a MUST try while in Maui. I'll be back for the Poke Bowls again before we leave :) Thanks Robert!

The falafel were so good that I could not resist the temptation to go back two days later! Service is very friendly and efficient! I can't wait to try other items on the menu.
