Clean, simple, and tropical‑smart: kitchen tips that work
- Shop small and fresh. Buy what you’ll use in a day or two to keep ingredients bright and reduce waste.

- Cover and contain. Keep foods covered when you’re not actively serving.
- Rinse produce. A quick rinse improves freshness.
- Tidy as you go. Wipe surfaces and wash up with your dish soap right after meals for an easy reset.

- Use the veranda. Alfresco dining keeps the kitchen cool and doubles the vacation vibe.
