Kiki Aranita
Chef & food writer
Kiki Aranita is a chef, food writer, fiber artist, sauce entrepreneur, and recipe developer. These career paths exist simultaneously and are tied together by the same themes: nostalgia (particularly when it comes to the food of Kiki's hometowns of Honolulu and Hong Kong) and care for the ocean. As a chef, she specializes in Hawai'i's fresh fish dishes and low waste cooking, and as a fiber artist, she uses primarily scrap yarn, in a small effort to keep micro-plastics out of our waterways.
