New PBS culinary travel show ‘Family Ingredients’ originates from Hawaii

It’s not quite a documentary, not quite a cooking show. The new PBS TV series Family Ingredients is a culinary travel TV series that tells unique stories by tracing the origins of a Hawaii dish to its roots around the world. Described by PBS as a joyful ode to farmers, food producers and families, the show is hosted by Ed Kenney, an acclaimed sustainability advocate and Oahu chef.

"We're at MA'O Organic Farms with chef Ed Kenney and musician Jack Johnson and his wife, Kim, picking carrots, tangerines, and kale for the Hawaiian beach party they're throwing the next day. It's pretty idyllic here on the island of Oahu--misty rainbows, swaying palms, every shade of green..."

Ed Kenney Talks Hawaiian Food

I've been a fan of the restaurant Town in Kaimuki since I first dined there back in 2008. I always make a point of visiting whenever I'm in Honolulu.  Ed Kenney is the chef and owner, and a great voice for sustainability in the food system. He's very approachable, in fact you'll see him shopping at the farmers market most weekends. He also has his finger on the pulse of what's happening so on my last visit I got a sat down to chat with him about the local Oahu food scene and since I'm heading back tomorrow, I thought it's about time I shared this interview... What do you think would surprise most people about the food scene here?  We have different kinds of visitors, the Cheesecake Factory here is the highest grossing location in the world. Then there are the Opentable people who look for places to eat before they even get here, but it's still a small group. People know the chains and the upper crust spots, but what makes it really amazing is the middle range and finding out about that takes a motivated foodie traveler. It's the middle range that's so diverse. And the diversity is blossoming.

Michelle Obama to Hawaii for APEC Meeting

First Lady Michelle Obama will join President Obama in hosting this year's Asia-Pacific Economic Leaders Meeting (AELM) in Hawaii. In addition to joining the President at various events, Mrs. Obama will also host a series of events during her 3-day stay focused on local farming and youth mentoring - which the First Lady will introduce to APEC Leaders' spouses - and support for military families stationed on the island. The First Lady's events on the island will focus on the two major initiatives that she has launched: Let's Move! - a national effort to reduce childhood obesity within a generation, and Joining Forces - a nation-wide initiative with Dr. Jill Biden to recognize, honor and take action to support military families. Saturday, November 12, 2011 11:30 AM First Lady Michelle Obama will kick off her trip with a visit to MA'O Organic Farms located in the Waianae area, the largest Native Hawaiian community in the world and one of the most economically challenged communities in the state. MA'O is a 24.5 acre certified organic farm that grows 35-45 different varieties of produce which they sell to a multitude of restaurants, grocery stores and farmers markets. The farm is primarily run by area youth who participate in the Youth Leadership Training (YLT) internship which requires interns to work for three years and in exchange receive a full tuition waiver at a local community college plus a monthly stipend.
