Cook Real Hawai'i

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The story of Hawaiian cooking, by a two-time Top Chef finalist and Fan Favourite, through 100 recipes that embody the beautiful cross-cultural exchange of the islands.

One of the Ten Best Cookbooks of the Year - The New Yorker. One of the Best Cookbooks of the Year - The New York Times, The Washington Post, NPR, Taste of Home, Vice, Serious Eats.

Even when he was winning accolades and adulation for his cooking, two-time Top Chef finalist Sheldon Simeon decided to drop what he thought he was supposed to cook as a chef. He dedicated himself instead to the local Hawai'i food that feeds his 'ohana β€” his family and neighbours. With uncomplicated, flavour-forward recipes, he shows us the many cultures that have come to create the cuisine of his beloved home: the native Hawaiian traditions, Japanese influences, Chinese cooking techniques, and dynamic Korean, Portuguese, and Filipino flavours that are closest to his heart.

Through stunning photography, poignant stories, and dishes like wok-fried poke, pork dumplings made with biscuit dough, crispy cauliflower katsu, and charred huli-huli chicken slicked with a sweet-savory butter glaze, Cook Real Hawai'i will bring a true taste of the cookouts, homes, and iconic mom and pop shops of Hawai'i into your kitchen.
