Wonderful book. Refreshingly simple and delicious recipes. I also like the fact that he gives recommendations on ingredients -which brands he likes, etc.

We recently visited Maui and luckily just happened to have lunch at Longhi's. Our lunch was delicious, so my husband decided to buy one of the cookbooks on display. (Bob Longhi was gracious enough to autogragh the cookbook for us.) We have tried several of the recipes, and are pleased to find they are easy to follow and true to the taste. Unique, delicious dishes I look forward to sharing with friends and family.

This book makes me want to fly to Maui and eat at Longhi's. The recipes are delicious. What a great book!

This book is beautiful to look at as well as practical to use. I actually cook from this book. The recipes are simple, and easy to follow, and the results are delicious. I love the photographs, and the stories throughout the book are entertaining and informative, especially if you want to open a restaurant. I highly recommend this book!

As a longtime resident in Hawaii I am the first to say Longhi's restaurants tends to have nice atmosphere. Period. I go to Longhi's sometimes for a drink and appetizers during their happy hour ( otherwise their very very high prices should send you to a much better restaurant with nice atmoshpere, not too hard to find in Hawaii either ). Do to the atmosphere I will recommend Longhi's for a stop, during Happy Hour.

However, it is common knowledge among many Hawaii residents that the food at Longhi's is nothing to write home about, at all. I was the recipient of a Longhi's cookbook so tried many recipes and unfortunately, even with an extra loving touch and buying the most high quality of ingredients, every dish failed to impress. Sadly the cookbook like the restaurant puts up a nice front with very little true quality substance to back it up.
