Hawai‘i's Holiday Cookbook
Island Favorites for Every Celebration From New Year to Christmas
by Muriel Miura and Betty Shimabukuro
Here in Hawai‘i, we love parties. Christmas, New Year’s, Fourth of July, Labor Day—all are reasons to cover long tables with butcher paper, get the folding chairs out of storage, chill some drinks, and enjoy the company and fellowship of loved ones.
In Hawai‘i’s Holiday Cookbook, the beloved chef and cookbook author Muriel Miura teams up with the Betty Shimabukuro, author of the popular “By Request” column in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, to bring you over a hundred recipes for main dishes, salads, appetizers, stews, and desserts you can take to any holiday party, whether it be Girl’s or Boy’s Day, Saint Patrick’s Day, Cinco de Mayo, or Thanksgiving.
These recipes, for dishes like Mango Chutney-Glazed Ham, Slow-Cooker Laulau, and ‘Ahi Burgers, are no nonsense: simple, economical, and delicious, so that your time will be spent not folding napkins into birds of paradise, but laughing it up with Uncle and Aunty, Grandpa and Grandma—and of course eating plenty of ‘ono food.
There are simple meals the little ones can prepare for Mom and Dad on Mother’s and Father’s Day, and decadent chocolate treats you can surprise your sweetie with on Valentine’s Day. And there are Island-style classics: Tripe Stew, Oxtail Stew, Chicken Long Rice, and the ubiquitous and yummy Macaroni-Crab Salad.
Don’t forget to have lots of foil on hand at your next holiday party: When you serve your guests these dishes, everyone will want to make a plate of leftovers to take home!
