HULAMIDWEST COOKBOOK

Our amazing, over 90 recipe COOKBOOK, will be avaliable at all our events for $10. To order online, $12.50 includes shipping and handling. We must not forget all the many po'e kanaka involved who contributed so much of their manawa to share their favorite recipes. From Mana Pua with 2 different kinds of fillings to Coconut Milk Cake. Of course, Kathy's Portugeese Bean Soup, somebody elses Seaweed Namasu, to fancy kind Linguine with Clam Sauce. The recipes seem endless. Woe, I better not forget Kaleo's Stuffed Mushroom, and who knows who sent Taro Puff (poi balls). As a gesture of Aloha, we plan to post from this COOKBOOK different recipes once a month. Being that there are 91 recipes, it will take you over 7 years to get all of them. Might as well buy the COOKBOOK for $10.
