The Food of Paradise: Exploring Hawaiis Culinary Heritage (Kolowalu Books): summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Food of Paradise: Exploring Hawaiis Culinary Heritage (Kolowalu Books)" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Hawaii has perhaps the most culturally diverse population on earth. The story of how the Polynesians, Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese, Korean, Filipinos, Okinawans, Puerto Ricans, various Southeast Asian peoples, and Caucasians (known as haoles) brought together their culinary traditions on these islands makes fascinating reading. Laudan concentrates on local food rather than the world-class glamour of the Hawaiian regional cuisine cooked up by famous island chefs Amy Ferguson Ota and Roy Yamaguchi. She presents the polyglot world of the plate lunch, Spam, mochi, seaweed, shaved ice, sushi, and all the other dishes that Hawaiians really eat every day. Primarily a living and lively culinary history, this book does include recipes for the most commonplace Hawaiian dishes.

For the gardener who chatted to me as she picked mangoes, for the market
stall owner who took the time to explain how to use pigweed, for the man in
the mom-and-pop store who answered my questions about cascaron, for the
volunteers in fairs and carnivals who demonstrated andagi and malasadas
and halo-halo, for the students who chatted about their Thanksgiving
dinners, and their mothers' soba noodles, and their fathers' soup of pig's feet,
and for all the other people of Hawaii whose names I never learned but who
gladly talked about their foods to a stranger.
