Inspired by her son Poet's passion for sustainability, Eat
Pono reflects Candes' love of family and healthy living in
the context of a relaxed island lifestyle. Born and raised
in Hawaii, she is an exceedingly relevant voice in this genre
because she has devoted most of her adult life to fitness,
healthy living, and developing a diet that supports maximum
performance. In her own quest for personal health, Candes
has achieved living her best life, and now wants to share the
recipes that have provided healthy sustenance to her and her
family. May you all Eat Pono and live your best lives in good
health, love and joy.
