Maui-born Chef Casia Rose has been part of Lotus Chefs from the very beginning, first joining Kyra as her assistant and growing over the years into one of our beloved head chefs. A gifted gardener and forager with raw food chef training completed in Bali, Casia brings a deep connection to the island and a natural understanding of seasonal, nourishing food to everything she creates.
Her cooking celebrates multicultural flavors with a particular love for Mediterranean cuisine, thoughtfully weaving together local ingredients, sustainable meats, plant-forward dishes, and globally inspired traditions. After welcoming her own little one and taking time away on maternity leave, Mama Casia is stepping back into the Lotus kitchen, bringing with her the warmth, creativity, and soulful hospitality that have been part of our team for nearly a decade.
