Our Hawaiian Cookbook Memoir ...
won First Prize in an International Competition. The judges explained that they had never seen such "fine writing in a cookbook." It is a real cookbook, not a recipe book; that is, it teaches you how to prepare the recipes. And there are 250 of them representing all six of the ethnic tables of Hawai’i (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, European and, Hawaiian). No need to have a separate cookbook for each cuisine.
