Spices for Life

Chef Ka‘iulani Cowell has blended the natural flavorings of organic herbs and spices, long noted for their medicinal properties, into seven unique blends that can add flavor to virtually any meal. Kai created her line of organic Ka‘iulani Spices— and this cookbook—to support her mission of encouraging people to cook at home again. You can please—even  amaze—your family and friends with gourmet-like home-cooked meals without spending hours over the stove, and without relying on an abundance of saturated fats, salts, sugars, refined carbohydrates and processed foods filled with preservatives and additives. All you need are her simple recipes to start and some Ka‘iulani Spices to add a little “Flavor Without the Labor!” The 60-plus recipes in Spices for Life are easy to follow, healthy and delicious, because Kai believes making good food from fresh ingredients shouldn’t be harder than buying pre-packaged, salt- and sugar- and fat-laden foods.

Ka‘iulani Cowell learned the importance of freshness and using fresh herbs and spices at an early age while shopping at open markets with her mother. She furthered her education at the famed Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, and developed her cooking skills as a chef at the Hilton, Guam, and at the Stanford Court Hotel, San Francisco. Her line of organic Ka‘iulani Spices can be found online and at grocery, retail and specialty stores throughout Hawai‘i.
