 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. Our Authors ...have grown up in the Islands or have lived the major portions of their lives here. They bring to their writings, whether about boats and sailing, Hawaiin Regional Cuisine, or hula wahine and Hawaiian culture, a depth that allows the reader to be confident of the authenticity of their material. In addition to ...the authors Diamond Hawai’i publishes, we also feature other Hawaiian authors and playwrights whom you may now wish to experience. Wayne Moniz is an award winning writer who works out of Maui and appeals to many who may remember the islands of an earlier day when great white ships brought movie stars and other interesting personalities to our sandy shores.

And Bill has been at his art a long time. (Click for more ...) |

A Cookbook Memoir of Hawai'i and Its Foods
"I was seven years old when my folks got this crazy idea to open a restaurant. That may not sound so crazy but they were both in graduate school at the time and had four kids!" Co-author Lisa Gaynier explains her love of food and her reason, years later, for dropping out of graduate school to become a restaurateur. In so doing, she continued her family's odyssey into the culinary world. Leaving their beloved Hawai'i for school and career, the Parola family brought their foods with them, and broadened the palates of scores of mainlanders. From a makeshift counter in front of the summer theater in the heart of the Midwest, to an upscale Pacific Rim inspired café in Ann Arbor, Michigan, mother and daughter explored their roots and their creativity.
