Review by Joseph Bean Maui Weekly December 9 2004
Over the past several months Ive been setting aside books that I thought would be good gifts for the holidays. Things to tuck into a Christmas stocking or bring along when visiting during the holidays. I was completely shocked when I pulled them out and discovered that all the books I had set aside were from just one publisher Bess Press.
There are kids gifts things for the cook and things for the thinker. Whats more at least one of the kid books could be for a grown-up. Any of the adult titles could be for a man or a woman or for a young adult or teenager with appropriate interests.
There are island-style cookbooks by the dozen coming out of every corner of Hawaii every year. There have been so many new ones this year that anyone from outside the state would think we Hawaii people have nothing to do but cook.
Pupusà Plus by Sachi Fukuda is pretty much what the title promises so long as we understand the accent is on the plus. Theres a can-do simplicity to the recipes and prep instructions. I especially fell in love with the curried mahi mahi with the quick prep and 45-minute baking time that left me free to make the rest of dinner.
Hawaii Light and Healthy by Diana Helfand is all recipes from MidWeeks Heart-Y Chef column. The recipes are easy the recommendations that come with each are encouraging and you could feed a family good healthy food-a different meal each day-for way more than a month using this one book. That includes desserts and snacks too. Trust me no one will ever suspect youre cooking healthy...
