Just try talking about Hawai‘i’s cultural history without talking about food. No can. We love eating and talk story about local food. On Saturday Nov. 6, Hawaii’s Plantation Village in Waipahu will celebrate both taste and talk with Arnold Hiura, author of Kau Kau — Cuisine & Culture in the Hawaiian Islands.
