I just returned from the Islands yesterday and couldn't wait to open my cookbook I purchased a few years ago.. I have made many many recipes from this book and I am always amazed at how great the recipes turn out. I would love to see another edition come with some recipes from some of the newer resturants.Aloha and Mahalo

My most treasured cookbook! 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

I am an adventurous cook, and I'm skilled at putting complex meals together, and on time. I have a collection of more than 100 cookbooks, and this is the one that gets pulled out for EVERY dinner party, every special event: it is without question, an incredible resource! My copy is falling apart from overuse. Most recipes have long lists of spices, but the actual preparation is simple. Excellent substitutions (ex: orange roughy for pink snapper, not normally found on the mainland) are recommended, and the suggested wine pairings are very helpful. I have tried 74 of the 118 recipes; there are only 2 that I would not ever try again.

this is a wonderfully original book! 5 out of 5 stars.

Good if you want to cook a pig in the ground 2 out of 5 stars.
27 of 31 people found this review helpful.

This book was o.k.; however, it has very few recipes. It provides detailed information on how to cook a pig in the ground for a luau, and has a few recipes (for 25 or more people) that seem fairly simple to make. I purchased the book to get some menu ideas for a luau that I am having and this book did not provide me with that.

Authentic Hawaiian Kine Recipes 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

This is a great book for anyone interested in Hawaiian food. It covers all the catagories from appetizers to main courses to bread and desserts. The great part about Hawaiian food is how simple so much of it is to make. Take it from a true fan of "local kine" food, this book will not dissapoint!!!!!!Enjoy!!!!

Editorial Review:

Surely Maui is the heart of Hawaii’s culinary renaissance. With fine ingredients such as sweet pineapples, papayas and Kula onions grown in its own fertile soil, Maui offers a plethora of creative and quintessentially local cooking. Add flair to your pau hana hour with a concoction like the lovely Haleakala Sunrise, accompanied by Sweet Maui Onion Lomi Lomi Salmon. Or enjoy a bowl of Maui Onion Soup then indulge in a plate of Kalua Turkey, Cold Ginger Chicken or Spicy Sweet and Sour Shrimp. Those who can’t skip dessert will love the crispy Mango Cobbler or even the very simple Traditional Haupia. Maui No Ka Oi – “Maui is the Best” – coined by proud Maui residents and felt by anyone who has experienced the charm of this island, the recipes in Tastes & Flavors of Maui are a slice of Maui’s best and will leave all who get a taste feeling the same.

One of the better gifts from my mother 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

My mother gave me this book a year ago when I wanted to make some Japanese food for my girlfriend (non-Asian). I liked it because the recipes were easy to follow, worked well, and had Japanese flavor and Hawaii flavor. I also like it as a Japanese-American cookbook, and being Japanese American, I don't see them too often. While it might not be the most "authentic" Japanese food (it's close), it is authentic Japanese Hawaii food and well worth the price.

An updated version of a classic 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Muriel Miura began her career as a home economist with Hawaii's Gas Co. She's hosted her own cooking shows. One of them called Cook Japanese which was aired on Hawaii Public Television in the early '70s.

She's also an author of numerous cookbooks. In 1974, as a way to help pay for her daughter's private school tuition, she wrote Cook Japanese: Hawaiian Style which she self-published. This cookbook has become a classic and is now out of print. Thanks to her daughter's encouragement to revise and reprint this cookbook for her children, Muriel Miura's classic is once again available for a whole new generation to enjoy.

The cookbook is sectioned into three parts:

Part One: Things Japanese
. . . How to Use Chopsticks
. . . Japanese Table Setting
. . . Decorative Ways of Cutting and Slicing
. . . Japanese Cooking Utensils

Part Two: Recipes
. . . Appetizers (Zenzai)
. . . Soup Stocks & Soups (Dashi and Owanrui)
. . . Rice Dishes (Gohanmono)
. . . Noodles (Menrui)
. . . Mixed Foods Vinegared Salads, and Pickled Vegetables
(Aemono,Sunomono, & Tsukemono)
. . . Raw Fish (Sashimi)
. . . Foods Cooked in Seasoned Liquids (Niimono)
. . . Steamed Foods (Mushimono)
. . . Fried Foods (Agemono)
. . . One Pot Cooking (Nabemono)
. . . Broiled Foods (Yakimono)
. . . Tofu Dishes (Tofu Ryori)
. . . Desserts (Dezaato)

Part Three: Appendices

This book has many colored pictures of the prepared dishes. Many of the ingredients used can be found in the asian food aisle of most well stocked supermarkets these days. Ingredients which may be harder to obtain can more than likely be found through the internet.

Editorial Review:

Local-style foodies Donovan M. Dela Cruz and Jodi Endo Chai are back with a fully updated and revised Puka Guide, this time with favorite hole-in-the-wall dining spots, inside scoop on okazu-ya (local delis) and the best omiyage (souvenir goodies) stops on all the major Hawaiian Islands. Their previous bestselling guides, The Puka Gude, The Okazu Guide and The Omiyage Guide have been fully updated and are now combined into a single, easy-to-use pocket guidebook covering the whole state. From bentos to barbecue, the 256-page Puka Guide features 100 local favorites and includes photographs and detailed information on hours, parking, seating and house specialties. With listings on Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island, this handy guidebook proves that, as Dela Cruz believes, "the road to a great eatery is never long."
