Library Journal Review
This inspirational and informative cookbook from Maui native Kysar (Fix Feast Flair blog) covers the many flavors and iconic dishes of the island state, including poke, saimin, and poi, as well as lesser-known treats such as butter mochi and hurricane popcorn. There is an impressively digestible history of the influences on Hawaiian cuisine, including Native Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Filipino, and Portuguese. Sections on the Hawaiian pantry and a produce guide are also useful; while some special ingredients are utilized, Kysar has tried to minimize recipes that would be impossible for mainlanders to reproduce. The design and photography are lush and beautiful without straying into the territory of unattainable, with Kysar's engaging love for her native state clearly informed by her family's open approach to everything that might be delicious. VERDICT There aren't many recent titles that cover Hawaiian cooking so thoroughly or beautifully. If you can't get to Hawaii for a plate lunch soon, this book will set you up.--Devon Thomas, Chelsea, MIPublishers Weekly Review
Kysar, a food blogger (Fix Feast Flair) born in Maui, presents an eye-opening portrait of the cultural diversity behind Hawaii's cuisine in 85 recipes celebrating the "aloha spirit" at the core of Hawaiian food. Recipes for family favorites and characteristic island fare leave ham and pineapple behind as Kysar turns her attention to Hawaii's unique food history, explaining how waves of immigrants (Westerners, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Koreans, Filipinos) formed Hawaii's "pidgin" culinary hodgepodge. Kysar assembles a proper Hawaiian Plate Lunch (protein, carbohydrate, mayo-heavy carbohydrate, and vegetables) drawn from the varied food culture, and which might include shoyu chicken, macaroni salad, rice, and kimchi. Other dishes include a fresh poi of taro root and water, pork laulau (pork butt steamed in taro leaves), and a ginger- and miso-marinated sablefish. There are easy rice and stir-fry dishes and fresh salads of native vegetables. For ambitious cooks, there's make-from-scratch saimin noodles and broth (akin to ramen); sweets, meanwhile, feature passion fruit chiffon and macadamia nut cream pies. Kysar lists places to obtain some ingredients, but more exotic items such as li hing powder, furikake, and mioi chili pepper may be more challenging to source. Kysar opens her heart and her kitchen in this appealing and informative introduction to a delightful cuisine. (Mar.) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.Booklist Review
First-time author and Hawaiian native Kysar understands the fantasy the Hawaiian islands hold for many, and provides an expansive look at the island's cuisine and its origins in Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Filipino, and other food cultures. With beautiful photographs, her well-written narrative goes beyond pupu platters, Spam fried rice, and macadamia nut cream pie to expose readers to the essence of Hawaiian culture, from all the regions of influence to its chronology towards statehood in 1959. She also takes the time to set home chefs up with helpful tips for peeling and knife techniques, pantry ingredients, the produce selection, the anatomy of a plate lunch, and the like. Other native customs are explained within recipes: the love of Spam and Kimchi; hamburgers in ""loco moco"" style; the lighter side of ramen, called saimin; and chicken hekka, a local sukiyaki that encourages fridge dumping. For the more complicated of these 85 dishes, like Liliko'I (passion fruit) chiffon pie, step-by-step photographs are included. A list of online or mainland ingredient sources would be useful.--Barbara Jacobs Copyright 2019 BooklistAuthor notes provided by Syndetics
