Did you know Tori Eldridge was hired to narrate her own audiobook for Kaua‘i Storm?

In traditional publishing, authors can (and have) requested to be considered. But very few are given the chance. The combination of Tori’s acting, voiceover, and characterization experience combined with her familiarity with her own Native Hawaiian language and Hawaiian Pidgin English, made her—as her director assured her—the perfect narrator for this audiobook.

Simple Kalo (Taro) Coconut Milk Dessert

This is probably the simplest method of enjoying kalo at home. If you buy the kalo (taro) root whole, be sure to wash, peel, and chop it into chunks. Asian markets will sometimes sell them in cubes.

• Steam until you can pierce them easily with a fork.
• Shake a can of coconut milk to mix
• Simmer cooked kalo and coconut milk for 20 minutes
• Add sugar to taste and a pinch of salt to bring out the flavor

Serve warm or cold. And feel free to add mango slices or your favorite tropical fruit!
