5.0 out of 5 stars Maui Tacos Rules!, February 19, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Maui Tacos Cookbook (Paperback)

This cookbook brings back memories of days at the Kamaole Beach park on Maui. We would run across South Kihei Road and grab a huge Maui Tacos burrito. I may not be able to sit under a lauhala tree and watch a dazzling Maui sunset to the sound of crashing waves while enjoying the Maui-Mex food, but the book helps me recreate the great burritos and salsas with Hawaiian names that I remember so well.
The recipes are easy enough for cooks of any skill level and they are especially good for folks who like to grill meat. Mark Ellman makes Mexican food sing with subtle Hawaiian flavors...and the salsas dance the hula in your mouth.

Mmm. Mexican cuisine!

Well, Maui-Mex cuisine, actually.

But how do you prepare it? This book offers some good advice and useful recipes. Obviously, you need good ingredients and you should try to serve food when it is fresh.

This book teaches some fundamentals, such as how to prepare rice, beans, and potatoes. Then we learn about marinades, guacamoles, and salsas. After that, burritos, tacos, and other items right from the Maui Tacos menus. Finally, a few desserts and drinks. It is a fine basic cookbook. Enjoy it!
