"Web 'About this Book' headline The author of Cook Real Hawai'i brings the essence of Hawai'i cuisine to everyday cooking with unfussy and flavorful recipes featuring easy ingredient substitutions, clever new techniques, and creative (and often plant-based) spins on traditional dishes. Beloved chef and two-time Top Chef fan favorite Sheldon Simeon's food joyfully reflects Hawai'i's flavors and cooking styles, a mixture of island influences including Native Hawaiian, Filipino, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Portuguese, and other cuisines. In Ohana Style you'll find umami-packed recipes meant for family-that's what ohana means in Hawaiian-weeknight dinners, quick lunches, snacks, cookouts, and barbecues. From Tocino Bacon with Garlic Rice for breakfast and Stir-Fried Olives with Ginger and Shoyu as a midday snack, to a Pan-Fried Lemon-Caper Mahi Mahi dinner with Pickled Mango Granita for dessert, Ohana Style has recipes for every mood and any event-it's a book for people who want to get something flavorful and delicious on the table quickly without forgoing the exciting and layered flavors of local Hawaiian cooking"-- Provided by publisher.
