Healthy Living, Island Style OCC’s own Candes Gentry— mom, endurance athlete, MBA business leader, recording artist, philanthropist and Miss Hawaii (1999)—recently published a 140-page cookbook. Members' Notes ➳ Amidst the pandemic, Candes Gentry’s passion project turned into a practical-and-pro- lific healthy lifestyle guide with the motto: Source Local. Eat Nutritiously. Live Sustainably. “Eat Pono,” featuring vibrant photography and delicious good-for-you recipes, was inspired by her nine-year-old son Poet. Her partner and Poet’s dad, Steve Shropshire, is a multigenera- tional farmer who’s passed down the love of the land to their son, who then started questioning where food comes from and what provides the necessary nutrients needed for us to optimally function. “Poet and I are now life-long-(food- ie)-learners of mother nature. We are excited to share this conversation with our community so as to broaden sustainable lifestyle practices. Afterall, a core value of our culture is anchored in the shared love of food and stewardship of the land. Our hope is that “Eat Pono” will inspire others to question their own food choices and experiment with these yummy and pono ways to flourish as a healthy ohana,” said Gentry.
