Plant-based recipes drawn from the farms, markets, and kitchens of Hawaiʻi. When Alana returned home to Maui as an adult, the island's farmers' markets and community crop shares reshaped how she cooked — taking the most beloved dishes of local Hawaiʻi food culture and centering the vegetable. Aloha Veggies is the result: more than 100 recipes organized around the flavors and formats that define local Hawaiʻi eating, from Loco Moco and Adobo to Fried Rice, Poke, and Potato Mac Salad—each with four variations to try.
Alongside mouthwatering recipes, Alana profiles farms and farmers growing some of her favorite produce, encouraging a renewed connection to the land and the people who grow our food. Aloha Veggies reveals the limitless possibilities that arise when you center vegetables on your plate, inspiring a new generation of home cooks in Hawai‘i and beyond.
