This review is from: Easy Cooking: The Island Way (Paperback)

Ann Corum's "Easy Cooking:The Island Way" is a great cookbook, easy to read, with fun-to-try recipes and a generous dollop of common sense for beginning cooks. The Hawaiian-themed dishes are unusual, tasty, and quick. Yes, there are some Spam recipes (Corum has written Spam cookbooks too, since it is a mainstay of the Islands) so if you are prejudiced against the canned pork product, just skip those.

I first purchased this book on the Big Island in the summer of 1985. When my oldest daughter got her first apartment at college, I let her take it since it's a wonderful source of advice for kids new to the kitchen. Somehow it got lost over the intervening years so I was as pleased as Hawaiian punch to find it in Amazon z-shops, even though it's out of print.

Corum is a librarian in Hawaii who has published several other cookbooks. "Easy Cooking:The Island Way" is a good way to try out some of her recipes and to enjoy her easy Island style. Highly recommended!
