Book Overview
Hawaii's local cuisine is a smorgasbord of flavors with influences from Chinese, Japanese, Filipino, Portuguese, Hawaiian, and a multitude of other international styles of cooking. The author of the bestselling cookbooks Hawaii's Best Mochi Recipes and Hawaii's Best Local Desserts now brings more than 140 favorite island recipes to the dinner table - from savory Pork Adobo, Oxtail Soup, and Honey-Glazed Walnut Shrimp to Lazy Style Laulau, Portuguese Bean Soup, and the island-style Loco Moco. These are the recipes passed on from friends, coworkers, and relatives; the local favorites that are found at potlucks and beach beach barbecues through the Islands. Many recipes are quick and easy for those who need to whip up a meal in 30 minutes or less after a long day at work.

Most used cookbook in our kitchen

We love this cookbook. Was given to me & my husband when we left the islands. So ono and easy.
Not high brow, but darn good

These recipes are easy and straightforward. You don't need to be a gourmand to make these. Although often rather low-brow (cream of mushroom soup, powdered onion soup mix...) I found them actually really good and sort of nostalgic in a comfort food sort of way. These are great recipes for feeding a family without a lot of fuss but still with some flair. I'm not from Hawaii but I think sugar is really loved over there! I had to decrease the sugar sometimes to suit my tongue. Every Hawaiian I know has this book so I think it is really representative of what locals eat at home.
KamaAina Favorite...Just like Home
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Many tasty local favorites...if only she had pickled mango :-). I make the oyako donburi often as well as furikaki fish (yummy with salmon). Being away from home and in NYC makes this book priceless for me. No local potlucks, plate lunches, or okazu deli food here, I gotta make my own "ono" food...thank goodness for this book! Mahalo for sharing Aunty Jean!
