Jean Hee’s Best of the Best – Hawaii Recipes

Look no further for the local recipes you love and crave. Jean Watanabe Hee has handpicked the most delicioius, can’t-miss dishes from her five “Hawaii’s Best” cookbooks and put them into one handy volume-complete with a few new recipes you won’t find anywhere else. With a bounty of pupus, salads, sides, soups, desserts, and fifty-two mouth-watering main courses, these recipes have been gathered from family tables, group picnics, and school cookbooks across Hawaii, then tested and perfected in Hee’s homestyle Kaneohe kitchen. Decades of culinary history are distilled in this treasury of island cooking-a history that’s rich, delicious, and still putting smiles on even the youngest faces.
