Hawai‘i businesses brought tropical florals, handcrafted products and island-style sunshine to a record 270,000 attendees of the Philadelphia International Flower Show, March 4 through 11. Maui No Ka ‘Oi's Associate Publisher Alix Buchter attended, along with companies like Genuine from Hawai‘i, Sweet Paradise Chocolatier, Hawaiian Classic Perfumes and Paradise Plumeria, as well as the Maui Chamber of Commerce, Maui Coffee Association, Maui flower Growers Association and Maui Visitor's and Convention Bureau. So, Alix, about those cheesesteaks you were going to bring back. . . ?
MNKO kicked off its 2012 ‘Aipono Wine Dinner Series in royal style: at the opening of Roy's Ka‘anapali, Chef Roy Yamaguchi's new restaurant at the Ka‘anapali Golf Clubhouse. Chef Joey Macadangdang's stellar cuisine paired beautifully with Spanish wines from Jorge Ordonez Selections, presented by Advanced Sommelier Charles Fredy of Chambers & Chambers. ‘Aipono Wine Dinners benefit Maui Culinary Academy.
Last February, the Maui Plein Air Painting Invitational brought two-dozen outstanding artists from Hawai‘i and the U.S. Mainland to Maui, where they spent a week racing the light to capture the island on canvas. Maui No Ka ‘Oi was pleased to once again sponsor the February 24 artists' reception at the Village Gallery in Lahaina, and chose Darrel Hill's oil painting Island Salsa to win the magazine's award. Five minutes after doors opened, nine paintings from the invitational had sold!
On January 22, the first (but, thankfully, not last) TEDxMaui drew a sell-out crowd to the Castle Theater. Authorized by TED (Technology, Entertainment & Desgin—the global conference that shares world-changing ideas), the event was hosted by Hawai‘i Public Televisions's Leslie Wilcox and Hawaiian cultural specialist Kainoa Horcajo, and featured acclaimed speakers from Maui and the world beyond—including U.S. Poet Laureate Emeritus W.S. Merwin. Kudos to Katie McMillan for organizing this stellar event!
Hosted on the spectacular grounds of the Hyatt Regency Maui, this year proved to be the most successful year yet of Maui No Ka ‘Oi Magazine's own ‘Aipono Awards. Marking its 10th year, the event boasted a record breaking 340+ attendees who gathered to celebrate culinary excellence. Thanks to our generous sponsors: Hyatt Regency Maui, Chambers & Chambers Wine Merchants, Japengo, Honu Seafood & Pizza, Pacific Biodiesel, Maui County Farm Bureau and Maui Culinary Academy, we were able to generate thousands of dollars in additional funds to support Maui culinary students. Whether you were one of the lucky winners, attendees, or following along from home as we announced this year's winners, you can now enjoy images from the the most successful year yet.
