Cook Real Hawai'i

"Most of us don’t know Hawai’i the same way chef Sheldon Simeon does. He knows that, and that’s part of what led him to write Cook Real Hawai’i with Garrett Snyder. If you’re expecting recipes for the kind of food you would eat at fancy resorts, you won’t find that here. Instead, you’ll find recipes that provide warmth and comfort often associated with family gatherings, which is how these are designed to be served. This cookbook isn’t just about the food; it’s about the people and cultures from places like China, Japan, Portugal, Korea and the Philippines that all have distinct influences on the local food. The stories, recipes and photography showcase the Hawai’i that Simeon knows best."
