Bring the Aloha Spirit to Your Kitchen with "The Pacifica House Hawaii Cook Book"
Transport yourself to the sun-kissed shores of Hawaii without leaving home. This timeless classic, first published in 1965, captures the essence of island cuisine—a vibrant fusion of Polynesian traditions and influences from Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Korean, Filipino, and even early American settlers. Dive into the rich history of Hawaiian foods, from the ancient Polynesians who introduced taro and poi to the innovative ways diverse cultures shaped the islands' flavorful dishes.
Discover over 180 authentic recipes that celebrate Hawaii's bounty of fresh fruits, seafood, and exotic ingredients. Whether you're planning a backyard luau or a cozy family meal, you'll find everything from pupus (appetizers like Won Ton Crab Puffs and Rumaki) to hearty mains (such as Kalua Pig baked in an imu, Island Sukiyaki, or Pineapple Peking Duck). Explore soups and sauces like Coco-Lobster Soup and Teriyaki Marinade, refreshing salads including Hawaiian Pineapple-Avocado Salad, and seafood delights like Shrimp Tempura or Lomi Salmon. Meats and poultry shine with Spareribs Hawaiian and Korean Broiled Meat, while vegetables and fruits offer gems like Luau Sweet Potato Casserole and Fresh Papaya with Lime Juice.
Don't miss the indulgent breads and desserts—think Holiday Sweet Bread (Pao Doce), Coconut Upside Down Cake, or Haupia (Coconut Pudding)—and quench your thirst with beverages from Mai-Tai cocktails to Pineapple Mint Iced Tea. Plus, gain practical tips on Oriental vegetable cooking, substitutions for hard-to-find Hawaiian ingredients, and a detailed guide to hosting an unforgettable luau, complete with the story behind this iconic feast.
