KJ’s Reviews > Cook Real Hawai'i: A Cookbook > Status Update

About halfway through and it's already bursting with page flags, this is definitely going on my "Buy" list. I'd consider this book worth reading like a novel, Simeon does a great job weaving a sense of place and culture into his recipes. I love that the history and cultural influences for different dishes are sprinkled throughout the book rather than confined to an introduction. Also, it's just visually lovely.
