Born into a family of wonderful cooks, I learned at an early age while going to open markets with my Mother about using quality herbs and spices. I further developed my cooking skills as a Chef at the Hilton Hotel in Guam and at the Stanford Court Hotel in San Francisco. I  attended Kapiolani Community College in Honolulu and at the famed Culinary Institute of America at Hyde Park, New York.

Kaiulani Spices Rub & Seasonings were born out of my desire to help busy people cook again and because spices have numerous health benefits. “Breaking bread” with one’s friends and family is one of the truly great pleasures of life. Spice rubs are fantastic because they make cooking easy. You only have to sprinkle them on vegetables, meat, poultry or fish, rub them in and let them marinate and then grill, fry, sauté or bake. Our spice blends contain 25 different herbs and spices that we roast, grind and then mix and bottle by hand.  I started selling my spices at KCC Farmers Market on Oahu seven years ago. I still demonstrate cooking with my spices at KCC Market on the second and fourth Saturday of every month. Kaiulani Spices are sold in many stores and are used by Chefs in their restaurants.

You can go to our web site at Kaispices.com and see the list of stores and chefs.  You can also get some recipes there. 

I am so proud to say that we are one of the few organic, locally made spices in Hawaii.
