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.

Of course, accompany your dessert with some Kona coffee. Here are some of my favorite Luau dessert ideas just to inspire you, but feel free to get creative using Hawaiian ingredients and invent your own: Kulolo Pineapple Upside Down Cake Coconut Cream Pie Miniature Macadamia Nut Tart White Chocolate Sweet Potato Cake Pineapple Tea Cakes Hawaiian Mango Cream Pie Chamorro Style Bread Pudding with Fresh Bananas and Macadamia Nuts Sam’s Big Island Macadamia Nut Brownies Pineapple Haupia Hawaiian Sweet Potato Cake w/ Pineapple Ice Cream & Coconut Crème Fraîche Coconut Cake Haupia (Coconut Pudding) Vegan Mango Upside Down Cake Macadamia Nut Phyllo Sticks Organic Kona Coffee (100%) Fresh-roasted and direct from the plantation in Kona, medium roast, whole bean 16oz. As featured on the Food & Wine Radio Network. See More Coffee Organic Acai Juice The Acai Berry, has 2x the antioxidants of blueberries and high levels of omega fatty acids, and an almost perfect complex of amino acids and vital trace minerals, is also considered to have the best nutritional value of any fruit. 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 Dresses and Hawaiian Shirts for the Whole `Ohana! Pa`inaGirl.com specializes in cute Hawaiian dresses. Our Hawaiian dresses are popular choices for informal beach wedding dresses or affordable bridesmaid dresses and range from fun and flirty to casual elegant. Hawaiian dresses and matching shirts can be worn for all occasions; our matching aloha prints can be used for parties, family photos and luaus, unique bridal wear, company events, and of course just for fun. In fact, our resort wear has been very popular for beach wedding dresses or garden wedding dresses since they are so comfortable and pretty, too! (Matching the guys in Hawaiian shirts is always a nice touch, too, even if you are just attending a party and are not in the party!) We are located on the island of O`ahu, nicknamed "the Gathering Place," as most of the population in Hawaii lives and works here. Even though it's cold out, why not take a trip to the islands, even if only in your mind? You'll be warmed by the thought! Locals here in Hawaii have been enjoying the comfort and style of "alohawear" since the 1930s, but the popularity of its bright colors and prints has caught on everywhere. Perhaps it's because of the happy feelings these friendly prints evoke -- put on some alohawear and you can't help but feel as though you're on vacation in paradise! The modern Hawaiian dress is actually something of a new phenomenon for the ladies -- in previous years, the "hawaiian dress" was usually a very conservative mu`umu`u -- definitely not very provocative (however, island women and girls do still wear mu`umu`us on Aloha Friday!).
