Download or read book Luau Like a Local written by JoAnn Takasaki and published by Globalwrites Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-04 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This delightful luau planner and cookbook honors the many influences that shape the cuisine of Hawaii. The islands have long welcomed people from around the world, and many foods of Asia are staples in Hawaii, along with Polynesian, Filipino, Spanish, Portuguese, and American dishes. An authentic luau is a global dining experience as well as a great party. The dishes offered in this cookbook make the most of the many cuisines of Hawaii, yet they are simple enough for mainland cooks to prepare easily, using ordinary ingredients found in many supermarkets. When special ingredients are required, JoAnn and Susanna Takasaki suggest the substitutions that they've come up with over the years. A Hawaiian luau brings friends and family together to enjoy food, music, and fun. It's meant to be casual and lighthearted, an excuse for friends to spend time together and "talk story." In Hawaii, a luau is usually a community effort. Every cook brings their favorite dish to make, the special recipe they know their friends like. Neighbors help dig the pit used to slow cook the pig. The hosts provide the setting for a casual outdoor party. The recipes in this book are time-tested and many have been passed down for generations. Each is well written and easy to follow, most accompanied by beautiful photographs. The authors have included extensive explanatory notes where needed and added entertaining commentary about particular recipes or their family history. The cookbook also includes shopping lists, online resources, and timetables for throwing a luau as effortlessly as possible. Readers will learn how to prepare traditional Hawaiian foods like kalua pig with sweet potatoes, lomi salmon, and poi. Guava cake is a favorite Hawaiian dessert, one that can be made from a mix or from scratch. On a luau dessert table, guava cake may be offered beside squares of sweet haupia, a firm coconut pudding with a Polynesian heritage. "The Hawaiians have incorporated many different dishes into what is now considered a traditional luau," the author explains. "This book has a little something from and for everyone, and you can mix and match as you please." Examples include recipes for Filipino-style adobo chicken wings and smoky-sweet yakitori (Japanese marinated chicken skewers). Luau Like a Local: The Easy Way offers easy yet authentic recipes for all the traditional luau dishes. Some recipes even come with instructions for making exciting new meals with the leftovers. Interested cooks can also make a true Hawaiian plate lunch with these recipes using scoops of Hawaiian white rice, macaroni salad, and an entree like pork or chicken laulau. Anyone who eats one of these lunches will think they are back in the islands. These authentic recipes are the real thing, gathered from a large extended family that loves to cook and entertain-without requiring anyone to dig up their backyard to throw a luau. They are recipes from a family that lived in many places outside Hawaii and often entertained with a luau wherever they lived. All are presented in delicious and easy-to-prepare ways so that anyone can put together the luau described in this book, anywhere. The purpose of a luau is to bring friends and family together and treat them well. This cookbook makes that easy. With it, you, too, can experience the joy of sharing the pleasures of the Hawaiian table.

Download or read book Local Story written by John P. Rosa and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2014-08-31 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Massie-Kahahawai case of 1931–1932 shook the Territory of Hawai‘i to its very core. Thalia Massie, a young Navy wife, alleged that she had been kidnapped and raped by “some Hawaiian boys” in Waikīkī. A few days later, five young men stood accused of her rape. Mishandling of evidence and contradictory testimony led to a mistrial, but before a second trial could be convened, one of the accused, Horace Ida, was kidnapped and beaten by a group of Navy men and a second, Joseph Kahahawai, lay dead from a gunshot wound. Thalia’s husband, Thomas Massie; her mother, Grace Fortescue; and two Navy men were convicted of the lesser charge of manslaughter, despite witnesses who saw them kidnap Kahahawai and the later discovery of his body in Massie’s car. Under pressure from Congress and the Navy, territorial governor Lawrence McCully Judd commuted their sentences. After spending only an hour in the governor’s office at ‘Iolani Palace, the four were set free. Local Story is a close examination of how Native Hawaiians, Asian immigrants, and others responded to challenges posed by the military and federal government during the case’s investigation and aftermath. In addition to providing a concise account of events as they unfolded, the book shows how this historical narrative has been told and retold in later decades to affirm a local identity among descendants of working-class Native Hawaiians, Asians, and others—in fact, this understanding of the term “local” in the islands dates from the Massie-Kahahawai case. It looks at the racial and sexual tensions in pre–World War II Hawai‘i that kept local men and white women apart and at the uneasy relationship between federal and military officials and territorial administrators. Lastly, it examines the revival of interest in the case in the last few decades: true crime accounts, a fictionalized TV mini-series, and, most recently, a play and a documentary—all spurring the formation of new collective memories about the Massie-Kahahawai case.

Download or read book Mondo Exotica written by Francesco Adinolfi and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2008-04-25 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tiki torches, cocktails, la dolce vita, and the music that popularized them—Mondo Exotica offers a behind-the-scenes look at the sounds and obsessions of the Space Age and Cold War period as well as the renewed interest in them evident in contemporary music and design. The music journalist and radio host Francesco Adinolfi provides extraordinary detail about artists, songs, albums, and soundtracks, while also presenting an incisive analysis of the ethnic and cultural stereotypes embodied in exotica and related genres. In this encyclopedic account of films, books, TV programs, mixed drinks, and above all music, he balances a respect for exotica’s artistic innovations with a critical assessment of what its popularity says about postwar society in the United States and Europe, and what its revival implies today. Adinolfi interviewed a number of exotica greats, and Mondo Exotica incorporates material from his interviews with Martin Denny, Esquivel, the Italian film composers Piero Piccioni and Piero Umiliani, and others. It begins with an extended look at the postwar popularity of exotica in the United States. Adinolfi describes how American bachelors and suburbanites embraced the Polynesian god Tiki as a symbol of escape and sexual liberation; how Les Baxter’s album Ritual of the Savage (1951) ushered in the exotica music craze; and how Martin Denny’s Exotica built on that craze, hitting number one in 1957. Adinolfi chronicles the popularity of performers from Yma Sumac, “the Peruvian Nightingale,” to Esquivel, who was described by Variety as “the Mexican Duke Ellington,” to the chanteuses Eartha Kitt, Julie London, and Ann-Margret. He explores exotica’s many sub-genres, including mood music, crime jazz, and spy music. Turning to Italy, he reconstructs the postwar years of la dolce vita, explaining how budget spy films, spaghetti westerns, soft-core porn movies, and other genres demonstrated an attraction to the foreign. Mondo Exotica includes a discography of albums, compilations, and remixes.

Download or read book Hawai i Regional Cuisine written by Samuel Hideo Yamashita and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2019-05-31 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Samuel H. Yamashita’s Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine: The Food Movement That Changed the Way Hawai‘i Eats is the first in-depth study on the origins, philosophy, development, and legacy of Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine (HRC). The book is based on interviews with thirty-six chefs, farmers, retailers, culinary arts educators, and food writers, as well as on nearly everything written about the HRC chefs in the national and local media. Yamashita follows the history of this important regional movement from its origins in 1991 through the following decades, offering a boldly original analysis of its cuisine and impact on the islands. The founding group of twelve chefs—Sam Choy, Roger Dikon, Mark Ellman, Amy Ferguson Ota, Beverly Gannon, Jean-Marie Josselin, George Mavrothalassitis, Peter Merriman, Philippe Padovani, Gary Strehl, Alan Wong, and Roy Yamaguchi—grandly announced in August 1991 the establishment of what they called Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine. At the time, they had no idea how dramatically they would change the food scene in the islands. While they each had their own style, their common commitment to using fresh, locally sourced ingredients of the highest quality at their restaurants quickly attracted the interest of journalists writing for national newspapers and magazines. The final chapters close with a discussion of the leading chefs of the next generation and an assessment of HRC's impact on farming, fishing, ranching, aquaculture, and culinary education in the islands. Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine will satisfy those who are passionate about food and intrigued by changes in local foodways.
