A Taro Cookbook

Summary: A Taste of Hawaii
Review: A book that illustrates not only delicious food and creative recipes, The Taro Cookbook gives the reader a taste of Hawaiian lifestyle. The students of Hana High School have generated this beautifully written and illustrated cookbook to share recipes from the most important staple food to the Hawaiian people--taro (or kalo in Hawaiian). One of the most revered creation stories to the Hawaiian people (included in the book) tells how the first man is actually a descendant of the kalo plant. The recipes are also diverse and mult-faceted, and other starches (such as potatoes, yams, casava, etc.) can be used if taro isn't available. Enjoy!
