The Hali'imaile General Store Cookbook: Home Cooking from Maui

by Beverly Gannon, Bonnie Friedman

Set on a pineapple plantation in up-country Maui, the Hali'imaile General Store has lured travelers for over a decade with its down-home, island-style cooking. Critics and diners rave about chef Beverly Gannon's rustic, hearty fare, and the restaurant is a fixture on "Best of Maui" lists. THE HALI'IMAILE GENERAL STORE COOKBOOK enables readers to bring the spirit of Maui and its landmark restaurant into their own kitchen with over 100 recipes, accompanied by Beverly's warm, chatty narrative. For all those locals and out-of-towners who've begged Beverly for recipes over the years, she has this to "Well, folks, here's the book! And I hope every single copy gets food-stained, dog-eared, and, most of all, enjoyed."

[Mrs. · Rating 4 out of 5]

I've made a couple dessert recipes out of the book, and they were good.

Basically, Bev Gannon is one of the founding chefs of Hawaii's Pacific Rim-style of cuisine, and this book exemplifies that. If you've eaten at her restaurant, or read about it, you've probably heard about her Crab Boboli appetizer. That recipe is NOT in the book, and Gannon will NOT give it away, so do not buy the book if your only reason for doing so is that you're hoping to get it!
