HAWAIIAN FOOD HOME COOKING

Hawaiian Food and Luau Recipes AMERICAN FOOD ALL AMERICAN FOOD CAJUN COOKING SOUTHERN COOKING CALIFORNIA CUISINE NATIVE AMERICAN FOOD HAWAIIAN FOOD HOME COOKING INTERNATIONAL AMERICAN FOOD COOKING RECIPES LUAU HISTORY Hawaiian Food and Luau Recipes Prior to the arrival of the white man to the Hawaiian Islands, the food was similar to that found on other Polynesian islands, particularly Samoa, Tonga and Tahiti, and included native fruits and other plant life and fish. Hawaiian Food With the arrival of other cultures, Hawaiian food changed drastically, fusing together the cooking styles of cultures from all over the world. Modern island cuisine now incorporates Polynesian, Asian and European cultures, their cooking techniques, and flavors. If you've ever been to a luau, you can see the whole spectrum of foods that blend these cooking styles and cultures. Even a typical dinner in Hawaii easily draws from each of these and might consist of teriyaki chicken, steamed or fried rice, chilled bean sprout or green salad, and fresh sweet pineapple. The Hawaiian Luau The Hawaiian luau was a traditional feast where accomplishments were celebrated, people were honored, and great events were remembered. Along with the large amounts of food, people sang and danced, typically for days. One of the most important features of a luau is the imu (an underground oven—a shallow pit lined with stones). On the day of the luau, a pit is dug in the sand in the early morning. Once the pit is lined with rocks, a whole pig (and laulau— side dishes) covered in ti and banana leaves is lowered into the pit filled with hot coals and rocks. After a whole day of cooking (about 6 to 8 hours), the pig is retrieved and the luau begins. Beverages at a modern non-commercial luau are typically soft drinks, beer, fruit juices and kona coffee. For the adults, Blue Hawaiians, Mai Tais and other tropical drinks are served to further enhance the luau experience. Pupu Anyone? No luau would be complete without a pupu platter. This is basically a platter of hors d'oeuvres designed to whet the appetite for the forthcoming feast. It is the Hawaiian way to say, "He mai (welcome)!" For example, a pupu platter might contain sliced vegetables and fruit, lomi-lomi salmon cherries, lumpia, kim chee, and butterfly shrimp. Hosting Your Own Luau? You don't have to be on the Islands to share in the spirit of Aloha. All you need is a warm summer day, a yard or lanai (patio) decorated with greenery and flowers, delicious food, delightful Hawaiian music and the laughter of those around you. (By the way, don't fret if it rains…just move the party inside!) Hawaiian Recipes Along with the kalua pig, other dishes common at a Hawaiian luau include: Bean Sprout Namul Chicken Long Rice Lomi Lomi Salmon Corn Chowder Mango Bread Pineapple Carrot Cake Teriyaki Beef Sticks Wikiwiki Fried Rice BACK TO TOP | SITEMAP Last modified 19 December 2005 Questions or comments?

In winter, windsurfers from around the world flock to the town of Paia to ride the waves; Hookipa Beach , known all over the globe for its brisk winds and excellent waves, is the site of several world-championship contests. Kanaha , west of Kahului Airport, also has dependable winds. When the winds turn northerly, Kihei is the spot to be; some days, you can spot whales in the distance behind the windsurfers. The northern end of Kihei is best: Ohukai Park , the first beach as you enter South Kiehi Road from the northern end, has not only good winds, but also parking, a long strip of grass to assemble your gear, and good access to the water. Experienced windsurfers here are found in front of the Maui Sunset condo, 1032 S. Kihei Rd., near Waipuilani Street (a block north of McDonald's), which has great windsurfing conditions but a very shallow reef (not good for beginners). Hawaiian Island Surf and Sport , 415 Dairy Rd., Kahului (tel. 800/231-6958 or 808/871-4981; www.hawaiianisland.com), offers lessons (from $79), rentals, and repairs. Other shops that offer rentals and lessons are Hawaiian Sailboarding Techniques , 425 Koloa St., Kahului (tel. 800/968-5423 or 808/871-5423; www.hstwindsurfing.com), with 2 1/2-hour lessons from $79; and Maui Windsurf Co ., 22 Hana Hwy., Kahului (tel. 800/872-0999 or 808/877-4816; www.maui-windsurf.com), which has complete equipment rental (board, sail, rig harness, and roof rack) from $45 and 1- or 2 1/2-hour lessons ranging from $69 to $75.
