Meet the Chef

A woman with blonde curly hair and tattoos on her arms, wearing a black shirt and apron, standing in front of large green leaves.

Aloha, I’m Chelsea.

I’m the chef and owner behind Aloha Chef Kauaʻi and Kauaʻi is home.

I was born and raised here, and that connection influences everything from the ingredients I cook with to the producers I support and the stories behind the food I serve.

After over 10 years of cooking professionally, I started Aloha Chef Kauaʻi in 2017 around the kind of hospitality I love most: good food, beautiful surroundings and people lingering around a table together.

Growing up on Kauaʻi shaped the way I cook.  From the ingredients I reach for, the flavors I love, and the way I think about gathering around a table. My menus are influenced by Hawaiʻi’s multicultural food traditions and built around fresh, seasonal ingredients, with local sourcing whenever possible.

My job is to make feeding everyone one of the easiest  and hopefully most memorable parts of your time here.
