West Kauai's Plantation Heritage : Recipes and Stories for Life from the Legacy of Hawaii's Sugar Plantation Community

West Kauai's Plantation Heritage is remembered and celebrated in this collection of recipes, images, anecdotes, and excerpts from oral histories and personal memoirs. The book is organized chronologically, based on the year of arrival of each ethnic group, as a way of acknowledging each of the major nationalities that helped make West Kauai the rich blend of cultures it is today. The final section, ?Local Favorites? reflects the dishes that abandon ethnic origins to the embrace of all. A best-seller in Hawaii, this book is part cookbook, part history book and part anthropology lesson. It honors a culture that found unity in its diversity and an appreciation for the struggles and sacrifices of its pioneers.Cook, Evelyn is the author of 'West Kauai's Plantation Heritage : Recipes and Stories for Life from the Legacy of Hawaii's Sugar Plantation Community', published 2003 under ISBN 9780972863308 and ISBN 0972863303.
