Steve's Review: Wow, this is the most helpful book to understanding all the great fruit and vegetables you can find in Hawaii. Beautiful pictures help you know your fruit and vegetables the next time you go to the grocery store or the farmers market. Easy healthy recipes throughout for all the island favorites from fish to tofu, chicken to beef. This is a must. A narrow book that fits easily in your crowded cookbook shelf. Or it can be your only cookbook if you only want one.
Go Home, Cook Rice in intended to inspire you to go home and prepare dinner - a simple meal that starts with Hawai'i's basic starch staple, rice. But which one will it be? Calrose, black, long grain, sushi, arborio, jasmine or basmati rice?
Former Honolulu Advertiser food editor Joan Namkoong helps you make that choice by explaining the many ingredients that make up Hawai'i's unique food pantry from a variety of ethnic food sources. From rice to slat, mesclun to balsamic vinegar, mangoes to sugar, fish to soy products, this book provides you with information on the many products available to the home cook. It's all about using a wide spectrum of ingredients and mostly, the freshest locally grown products in delicious everyday home cooking. |
