Hawaii Cooking With Aloha

Summary: Classic Hawaiian Cooking
Review: I love this book. There are no photographs and the recipies aren't "trendy", but it's a standard for Hawaiian cooking and one of my most-used Hawaiian cookbooks. There are line drawings of waves and leaves that are taken from a 1939 book that give this book a rather old-fashioned feel. The recipies are sorted by island and catagory and are simple and easy. I use this book every summer for the great sauce and dessert recipies. There are all the basics here like coconut fried shrimp, plus lots of originals like Tropical Cookies! There are some real island recipies that mainlanders might have trouble with due to the difficulty of locating native ingredients. But most of the recipies are perfect for mainlanders having a luau; easy, fun and delicious!
