Aloha, This website is somewhat outdated – I have not introduced new content since  my son was born in 2021. And this picture is from 2016. Yet, I still love it and hope to get more involved soon.

About 

I’m Katie Crowe and Katie’s Tropical Kitchen is my personal arsenal of favorite dishes and tropical recipes. It also contains a collection of information on tropical fruits and recommendations for healthy lifestyle products.

 Katie’s Tropical Kitchen website focuses on healthy recipes and healthy ingredients

You’ll notice that not all my recipes are stereotypical tropical food recipes. This is because there is a lot more to tropical food than pineapples and guavas. I have many traditional or world-wide recipes. However, I also have many recipes that highlight locally grown or produced items.

My kitchen is a healthy kitchen. In my every day cooking I always incorporate a few items from the farm in every dish, even if it is just a few herbs. Additionally, I try as hard as possible to buy all organic foods, or at least non-GMO foods. Typically, my recipes include almost entirely wholefoods or unprocessed foods. We also do our best to use local items. For example, you you will see many more recipes macadamia nuts, than almonds.
