Sharing stories of hope and love can never be more important than today. What surrounds us sometimes is sadness, uncertainty, discrimination. We all have within ourselves to be compassionate, caring and kind within us despite that. I must believe it and live by it. My love language is cooking and food. When I am happy, I cook. When I am sad, I cook and when I am angry, I clean. I know many of us can relate. I share my stories of hope and love in here, my own space along with my small victories. I am Kalani and this is a little bit about my stories of hope and love through cooking.

Not long ago I was struggling with self-love. I wasn’t telling myself good enough stories. they had lost their hope and luster. My cooking was more of a chore, it was a means to feed my family. I had to cook. I needed to change that. I needed my cooking to be a story of hope and love for my family. The light and joy of cooking came back along with it.

Birth of ThePerfectCurry blog is one of the stories of hope and love in my life, which I am excited to share a little bit about today. Let’s start with who and what helps me along the journey.

Holding the ones that dear to me closer …

All my best dishes have their roots in my family. They either come from my mothers, sisters, or grandmothers. Writing my posts and creating new recipes keep me in constant touch with them. All my best recipes express my love for my friends and family. They believe and cheer me on even when I stumble on my feet. Hold my hands when I hesitate. That is where my strength to keep going comes from.

They are support created happy moments of togetherness and those moment became stories of hope and love I write in my posts. Slowly but steadily, we have not more than 250 published posts, more than 100 recipes and 1800+ subscribers across the board. I cherish them all. Every one of you makes me feel loved and appreciated with your likes, subscriptions, and comments.

I am excited that now I can teach my best recipes to you if you need to see how I make them and give you a head start with my own hand roasted premixed curry seasoning and instruction packets. Contact me via e mail or text by following the workshop link.

Braving to be open, raw, and vulnerable …

My food has always been my love language. Whether I am making a tea-time snack for family or a friend. I am always able to open more be in my comfort zone and talk about how I feel with my favorite food around. In the food itself lots of stories of hope and love I gathered and keep within my heart to keep myself from falling. I feel fortunate that I have surrounded myself with friends, family and a community that I can be in my comfort zone.

2024 has been a very much health focused year for me. We have been focusing more on getting more balanced, high protein, low carb, and low glycemic recipes that I created a while ago. At the same time, I am excited to announce that I will be focusing more on recipes that my friends like to eat when they come over, and local food favorites and events going forward. Most of the meal plans and events are going to be in the newsletter and my YouTube channel. If you would like to see what’s going on weekdays, subscribe to the newsletters and my Youtube channel .

Hopes of the future and gratitude

I am very appreciative of everyone who has been there for me thick and thin through my journey of finding and sharing my stories of hope and love. I am incredibly grateful for your love and support. Many of you who have sent me notes and comments requesting how to make spices, I am glad to let you know you can now write to me to get a starter premixed curry blend from me.

If this is something you are interested in, write to me, let me know what curry recipe you want to make and where to send the started spice blend, I will ship you a free spice blend to try out. I think getting a starter spice blend will help a lot. It would only cost you shipping.

My e-mail is kalani@theperfectcurry.com . I am hoping to hear more success stories, food stories and stories of hope and love that you have come across along with if you liked my recipes.

Much love and have a great day !
