Keeping It Relle - Pukalani, HI

Relle Lum, a native of Upcountry Maui, possesses an insatiable passion for all things food. By day, she dedicates herself as a mom and a full-time nurse practitioner. However, as the sun sets, she adorns a different apron, that of a food blogger. Beyond these roles, she is often found in the kitchen, crafting delectable dishes for her loved ones or savoring moments of serenity at the beach.

Although not a professionally trained chef, her culinary journey is steeped in a deep love for cooking, nurtured during a childhood spent baking alongside her mother. Interestingly, Lum confesses to having been a picky eater as a child, yet a desire to cultivate adventurous eaters in her future family ignited a fervor within her.

This drive propelled her on a journey that ultimately gave birth to “Keeping It Relle,” a haven of Hawaiian and local recipes tailored for home cooks.
