Aloha!

Born and raised in Hawai’i, I grew up in a kitchen inspired by the local cuisine and my Japanese-American heritage. Cooking and sharing beautifully curated experiences with family and friends is my love language. After living in California for 10+ years, I returned to my island home of Maui at the beginning of 2022 with my fiancé and #asausagenamedvienna

I am a cookbook author, recipe developer, and photographer working from our home studio in Kula, Maui.

Mahalo for stopping by!

Aloha,
Alana

 
 
 
 
 


Fix Feast Flair began in 2015 as a blog where I shared recipes and stories about my travels and life experiences. It was named Saveur Magazine’s Readers’ Choice for Best New Voice at their 2015 Blog Awards and since then my photos and recipes have been seen everywhere from Saveur and Food & Wine, to Country Living, BuzzFeed, Yahoo Food, and Better Homes & Garden. 

What’s in the name you may ask?

Fix is all about making, whether it be cooking, baking, assembling dishes, developing recipes, and curating menus.

Feast is centered on the moments where we come together to enjoy the food that’s been prepared.

Flair is all the things surrounding the making or enjoying of the food and experiences. Everything from the tools in the kitchen to the cultures, lifestyles, and environments that influence it all.

Filled with excitement for this next chapter in our lives here on Maui, the site has gone through a refresh with a new look and feel and I’ll be expanding the subject matter into other aspects of my work and lifestyle. I’m looking forward to sharing more of my journey with you all.

Thank you so much for all the support!
