About
Before you could get a plate lunch in Manhattan and taro bubble tea swept the nation, there was Simple Hawaiian Cookery! Combining Hawaiian fare with 1960s flair, this compendium collects recipes for everything from savory small bites to ambitious roasts. Pineapple abounds. More authentic appetizer favorites like rich Red Bean Soup mingle with inauthentic but delicious tourist darlings like savory-sweet Rumaki (likely invented by the legendary Trader Vic). Ginger-spiced Chicken Oahu goes divinely with clove-and-butter-infused Hawaiian Sweet Potato. Finish fluffy with a light-as-a-carefree-heart Coconut Soufflé. Chase each dish with a hurricane glass of Hawaiian Fruit Punch, and you’ll feel liable to float away on a warm breeze. Lovely woodblock prints render pages picturesque.

When next you entertain;
Make believe you're in Hawaii
With the palms and sugar cane!
