The wait is over!
After months of cooking, writing, and crafting every detail with care, The Island Spirit: The Ultimate Guide to Rum-Infused Cocktails and Cuisine is finally here — and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you.
This book is more than a collection of recipes, it’s a thoughtfully curated 350 page book designed to show rum-enthusiasts and home cooks of all levels how to use rum to enhance meals and cocktails in simple, delicious ways. Whether it's a splash in a pan sauce, a bold note in a marinade, or subtle depth in dessert, rum has the power to elevate recipes that are already good — and make them unforgettable.
Now available in two beautiful formats:
• A full-color hardcover edition—ideal for gifting or keeping on your kitchen counter
• A premium digital eBook edition—perfect for phones, tablets, and cooking on the go
And here’s something special:
Most of the recipes in this book are found nowhere else.
They’re not on my Substack, not online, and not part of any shared content — only in the book itself.
Whether you're planning a gathering, refreshing your weekly meal plan, or just looking to try something new, this book is your companion for cooking and crafting cocktails with confidence, ease, and a little more aloha.
📘 Available on Amazon
Thank you for following The Island Spirit Kitchen! I hope you’re enjoying the recipes, tips, and flavor pairings I share on Substack. Now, you can have even more in one beautifully crafted hardcover book — designed to bring joy, flavor and The Spirit of Aloha™ to your everyday table.
