by Executive Chef
Michael Gallagher (Hardcover - Sep 1, 2006)
This great gourmet cookbook
is easy to follow with very vivid, mouth-watering photos. There are personal
notes from Executive Chef Michael Gallagher about each of the recipes. Our
daughter-in-law, Marni, bought this book during a recent Maui trip and loves
it. She's an excellent cook so in our opinion, it comes highly
recommended!

- A
Hawaiian Life
by George Kahumoku
Jr.
This is a really funny book written by George Kahumoku Jr. one of
Hawaii's best known performers of slack key guitar music. It traces his life
from childhood to adult and all the advertures he experienced. Chapters on the
shark with wiskers, pig farm demise from movies, and playing guitar in
Kaanapali are priceless. We highly recommend it for some fun, light
reading.
