Look no further for the local recipes you love and crave. Jean Watanabe Hee has handpicked the most delicious, can't-miss dishes from her five Hawaii's Best cookbooks and put them into one handy volume - complete with a few new recipes you won't find anywhere else. With a bounty of pupu, salads, sides, soups, desserts, and 52 mouth-watering main courses, these recipes have been gathered from family tables, group picnics, and school cookbooks across Hawaii, then tested and perfected in Hee's homestyle Windward Oahu kitchen. Decades of culinary history are distilled in this treasury of island cooking - a history that's rich, delicious, and still putting smiles on even the youngest faces.
