More Garden & Patio Furniture Planning a Luau: Luau Recipes return to Planning a Summer Party: Main Index Luau Recipes Featured Cookbook Alan Wong's New Wave Luau: Recipes from Honolulu's Award-Winning Chef Chosen Best Regional Chef for the Pacific Northwest in 1996 by the James Beard Foundation, Wong is a master of multicultural cooking. Called Hawaiian Regional Cuisine, his dishes fuse local ingredients and traditions with foods and techniques from Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Taking the succulent meat from whole Kalua Pig, pit-roasted luau style, he uses it in a risotto dotted with corn and crunchy water chestnuts, then enriched with truffle butter. He also features this smoky pork in nachos built on crunchy taro chips, topped with chile-spiked guacamole. His Surf and Turf, for example, features grilled beef tenderloin and a Kona lobster tail wrapped around a scallop. They are served with a roasted potato topped with wasabi-spiked mashed potatoes. This potato sprouts leaves of tat soi, an Asian green, and spiraling antennae of fried linguini. Grilled marinated mushrooms and asparagus add to the plate, which is drizzled with a sauce combining cream, truffle butter, and soy vinaigrette. Then it is ringed with shining dots of basil oil and finished with a sprinkling of chives and diced tomato. Lest this strenuous cooking intimidate you, it is easy to make Wong's Asian Guacamole flavored with ginger and sake, Five Spice Risotto rich with shiitake mushrooms, and Asian Ratatouille, unexpectedly enhanced with oyster sauce and sesame oil. Each adds immeasurably to a meal of grilled fish or store-bought roast chicken. Anyone with an ice-cream maker must try the recipes for tropical Guava, Lychee-Ginger, and Mango Lime ice cream, and a quartet of memorably exotic, liquored sorbets. More Hawaiian Cookbooks Luau Recipes & Food Ideas Pineapple Serving Bowl If you are planning a Luau Party for kids, a Luau wedding reception or bridal shower, luau birthday party or luau graduation party, of course you are going to want to serve great luau food to get everyone in the tropical mood. Here you will find Hawaiian luau recipes (some featuring traditional luau food, some more experimental but still with the luau theme) to help you plan a luau menu that is truly exceptional. Luau party recipes can vary depending on what kind of a party you are hosting, so we've included luau food recipes that cover all tastes and sizes, and luau drink recipes too. Kids luau recipes, luau party food for adults, easy luau recipes for those who get hives just thinking about the kitchen...we've done out best to see that there's at least one luau food idea in here to suit just about everyone! Most people aren't going to roast a "kalua pig" in an imu, usually the centerpiece of a traditional luau menu, but fortunately, there are many other luau food options that are less time consuming and totally delicious. For appetizers, consider creating your own pupu platter, which is basically a platter of hors d'oeuvres, island style. Tropical Flower Plates Consume your canapés on these porcelain plates embossed with florid colors and colorful flowers. Each savory snack will be all the tastier atop the lilies and hibiscuses of these practical plates. Dishwasher and microwave safe. To make sure your guest are well fed, and keep with the spirit of the luau experience, include a few traditional luau foods such as poi, papaya, pineapple and sweet potatoes in your menu. Poi is a thick, purple-colored paste made by pounding taro. Poi can be bought fresh or "day-old," which will have a more sour flavor to it. Slice fresh pineapple in half, cutting out the inside of the fruit (you can cut this into pieces and serve this separately), then fill with tuna or chicken salad. Even if you purchase a prepared salad from a local deli, throw in some fruit and nuts, like pineapple, papaya, mango, mandarin oranges, grapes, slivered almonds or walnuts for a truly tropical experience. Below are some luau recipes featuring some traditional luau dishes, and some that would just go with a luau theme. Vegetarian and vegan Hawaiian recipes are also included in this selection.

Oh, and did I mention they taste just like blueberries? Luau Drink Recipes Tiki Bar Sign More featured luau party decorations More Tropical Cocktail Recipe Books Hawaiian cocktail recipes and non alcoholic luau drink ideas are generally things with a tropical flair such as a Mai Tai , Blue Hawaiian , Hawaiian Cocktail or Scorpion . Basically any drink that uses fruit juices and rum will pass as a Hawaiian cocktail, and many of these tropical drinks you may think of as Hawaiian are actually inventions of the 1950's Polynesian Hollywood kitsch club scene. If you prefer to set out a punch bowl for your luau guests, a Hawaiian Punch is always a sure-fire fruity hit. Some non-alcoholic luau drink ideas are still drinks that pack plenty of fruity taste, but just do it without the alcohol, like a Banana-Mango Smoothie or a Virgin Strawberry Colada .

Hawaiian quilting festival this

Kojima, Star-Bulletin Lee Wild shows a pattern by the late master quilter, Meali'i Kalama. Below, a quilt on display this weekend. Stitches in Time One of the goals of the Hawaiian quilting festival this weekend is to perpetuate the cultural art form By Catherine Kekoa Enomoto Star-Bulletin IT'S a quilting bee to beat the band. This weekend's inaugural Hawaiian Quilt Festival at Blaisdell Center offers a patchwork of activities. Displays, exhibits, demonstrations, lectures, workshops, a marketplace and hands-on practice cover each step in the quilting process - pattern tracing, cutting, laying out, pinning, basting, hemming or appliqueing, and quilting. "We'll have old quilt patterns and dressmaker's tracing paper for purchase at $2 for a two-yard sheet," said Augusta-Helen "Aunty Gussie" Bento, president of the Hawaiian Quilt Research Project and co-chair of the three-day festival. "It's enough to trace one large quilt design and a couple of small designs. The patterns themselves stretch out to 40 or 48 inches." Bento said different quilt patterns will be available Saturday and Sunday, plus pencils for general use. "Then, people will be able to quilt on a horse that's there for community quilting," she said. Oahu and neighbor island quilters will lead workshops, such as stencils, Hawaiian tropical placemats, Hawaiian quilt pillow, miniature Hawaiian quilt, and designing a Hawaiian quilt. Cost will range from $26.50 to $75. Co-chair Elaine Zinn said festival goals are three-fold - "to help the public understand what the Hawaiian Quilt Research Project is about, to perpetuate the art of Hawaiian quilting so that it continues to grow, and to let people know how to take care of their quilts, because our environment and insects are so threatening to textiles." The 16-year Research Project has documented and registered more than 900 quilts and 700 quilt patterns on all islands. People will be able to sign up at the festival for future registries. "The project is important to preserve the history of Hawaiian quilts," said Zinn, who produced the 13-part public television "Hawaiian Quilting" series, "and to preserve the actual quilts that are still with us, so they will last a few more generations. They are very precious." "It was the greatest show of friendship to share one's quilt patterns," said Elizabeth Akana, who can conjure a genteel picture of tutu (grandmothers) with flowers in their hair, gathered on a porch to share snitches of gossip and stitches of colorful threads. "The quilts are enlightening us about our history and bringing about a love of history, because when you're dealing with a quilt you've got to have love in your heart," Akana said. Meanwhile, people can take their own paper and pencil, and trace quilt patterns at Waianae Library, which has a prodigious collection of 400 patterns, with more patterns yet available at Kailua Library and Brigham Young University-Hawaii collections. Akana said of Hawaii's unique quilting process and product: "We're looking at love in fabric and thread."
