Bess Press, Inc., Honolulu [Published date: 1990]. Soft cover, 159 pp. Revised Edition.[From preface] Aloha Friends, Hawaii is a blend of cultures from all over the world. Each new group of immigrants to the Islands has brought its own special customs, foods, and cooking methods - Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Filipino, and even the "Haole" (Mainlanders). As a result, Hawaiian cuisine blends these traditions into something truly unique and delicious. We have written this cookbook to share the magic of Hawaii that we have experienced in our lives. We have drawn from our personal knowledge to share our love of the Islands with our Mainland friends. In many instances, these are traditional recipes which have been passed from generation to generation. We want this book to be ftin and easy to use. Hawauan Magic can be used for all occasions, not just special events. Many Hawaiian dishes are simple to make and great for anyone's everyday use. For example, our stir-fry dishes are "wiki wiki" (quick) - perfect for busy families! We have also included a special section on how to give a Luau, so you can create your own enchanted tropical evening. Our desire, in writing this book, has been to share our love of Hawaii so you can experience its magic, too. Mahalo Nui Loa, Mae and Lee
