Low Sodium Brisket

If you need a healthy meal, and you do love meat, but need to watch your sodium intake, and if you don't cook, give me a buzz and I'll work out something, call me for a consultation, what flavorings you like, and we can come up with a good flavorful meal for you. I can also introduce you to vegetarian and vegan cooking that you may love.

Recently done a low sodium braised brisket for someone, all I did was show up and season the brisket and gave him the instructions to finish it off in the oven. Although he said it was good, I don't know if he was totally honest and didn't shower salt on it. But if you do need a specially tailored diet, call me and we'll work together to get you eating good food again.

LAHAINA EVENING OFF THE MAIN DRAG

At the corner of Dickenson St. and Front Street, art is huge. The town of Lahaina where I'm from has lots of history, from the days of ancient Hawaiians (Kanaka Ma oli), to the Whalers and Missionaries, to the sugar and pineapple plantations, to the modern computer age, Lahaina still is a quaint little town, lots of water activities, food, and drink. This picture was taken on April 28, 2010 in the evening in the front yard of the Baldwin Home, just south of this area, the huge block wide Banayan Tree waits for a picture to be taken, also the  historic Pioneer Inn Hotel and Restaurant and Bar.


THE MARKET PLACE IN LAHAINA corner of Lahainaluna Road & Front Street

If you want a tatoo, local plates, jewelry, cute clothing for the women (wahine), this little area is your typical Lahaina style shopping area, geared for the tourist, you can call it cheesy, but if you are a mainlander always stressed out on life, stopping in here is a totally different feel, right across the street is Cheese Burgers In Paradise.







MAKAI SIDE OF FRONT STREET ON THE SEA WALL

Shops are open till around 10 in the evening with more bars and restaurants open till midnight and past that on the weekends. Find something to take back home, Front Street is the place to go, this picture was taken right at the coner of Dickenson and Front Streets, (makai) or towards the ocean or sea, the camera shot is facing south, west is to the right where awesome sunsets are God made from late Spring to late Summer time. Lahaina is a casual spot, women dress easy, men and kids just the same, flip flops and no shoes is O Rite!


If you find something on the menu in anyone of the restaurants in Lahaina but want a meal in your condo, and don't want to get out because you're too burned out, call me or email me and I'll see what I can do for you. Steaks, seafood, Mexican, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, I can do.  ronald.sambrano1@gmail.com

HEALTHY MEALS

Healthy meals at your home? Yes, big time yes, as a matter of fact, I'd rather do healthy cooking than regular cooking, this allows me to help make better a person's well being. What have I done to help someone? Well this one guy I helped had diabetes, and of course had to watch his sugar intake.

I made him a teriyaki beef meal, low in sat fats, low in sodium, and low in sugar.

I took a piece of bone in chuck steak, and trimmed the fat off, removed the bone and pounded it with a mallet, and what I did was soak it in some low sodium wheat free tamari soy sauce, some agave syrup, ginger, garlic, scallions, and some water, and a dash of herbs and some balsamic vinegar.

It tasted like regular teriyaki, but without all of the high bad for you contents.

Agave syrup doesn't raise the blood sugar a lot, the wheat free low sodium tamari soy sauce doesn't raise the sugar or blood pressure that  much, and the herbs are good for the health I use organics when possible.

TESTIMONIALS

I just want to say that Ron has something up his sleeves at all times, I used to be a chef, and now I'm an old man, but he knows how to cook and he is very simple, he doesn't get too crazy with lots of spices unless you want it. But recently I have been diagnosed with Diabetes, and he just knows how to satisfy the taste buds, he charges reasonably, and being an ex chef in my younger days, I understand what he has to go through to make a special meal for anyone. I'm telling you, he gets to the point, and he can pull of lots of ethnic dishes that I can't, I came from the old French school of cooking, I thought I knew it all,, but watching and talking to
Ron with his simple but effective style really is something special.

Bob

I had a birthday and I was all alone because my guests couldn't make it, I already hired Ron to do the cooking which was just a roast, some appetizers and drinks. He stayed with me and we had a good meal together, it's just the way he was brought up, he cares so much about people, if you get a chance to work with him, do it, I urge you, he won't disappoint you, and he is on a mission to help fight hypertension and diabetes through his cooking, so give him a call if you have any health issues, he's fun to be around, and I am a cook myself, so he always respects your feeback, Ron is the best, I am not rich and can't afford personal chefs all of the time, but that one time I hired him, he made such an awesome impression.

Linda

My kids wanted hot dogs and burgers for a birthday party, Ron showed up and he told me what he was going to buy at the market, and of course it's all part of the cost, but he made some killer hamburgers that the kids just loved, and he went out of his way to purchase veggie burgers when I didn't ask for it, but he thinks ahead, and because there were several vegetarain kids? Ron is awesome, he is heads up man.

Mary Anne

My wife an I wanted Chateau Briand for dinner, he came over and just floored us with his style of cooking, he made it taste so good, so good! You know, I had doubts when he first showed up, he was dressed in some surf shorts and a tee shirt, I'm thinking, "What the hell is this kid? Is he gonna give me a surf lesson?" Well, he got out his stainless steel skillets, his knives and went to town! He really did. I can't cook to save my life so what the hell do I know? Ron is the best, he cares about people, and I tell you right now, you meet him, it's like he's part of the family, good job Chef Sambrano

Milton


My friends and I wanted some sports bar food, so we called Ron, and he made us some buffalo wings, some potato skins, some oyster shooters, some battered fish, some teriyaki beef, and some Hawaiian style poke or raw fish cubes it was so good! Yeah, you get a chance to dine in and got the money to do it? Ron's your man, he's ours for sure, and I'm telling you, he's a lot of fun, you not only get a chef but a pretty funny guy to go with the food

Johnny

Last year my daughter had a yeast infection, not funny, but the doctor said for her to stay away from yeast, I worked with Ron for almost 2 hours trying to find a good menu for my daughter that she would like. Ron went out of his way on his own time to look up recipes for people that can't intake yeast. He baked a yeast free bread, he made us a pasta with ingredients that did not contain any yeast, he even told us what kind of products that are made special for people that can't have yeast. Ron is a good human being period! If you need help with food? I am serious, dead serious, call him, you will not be disappointed

"Ron and I got to know some things about each other, mainly sports, and some other things like family, when he cooked for me and my date, it was as if we were friends for a long time, and now? I got married to my date, thanks to Ron, he's like a Doctor Love and Chef Love, thanks buddy!"
