Product Description
When author Jennifer Brennan lived in Guam, she saw and sampled the bounty of delights that can only be found in the lush Pacific Islands: exotic meats, unusual seafoods, and extraordinary fresh fruits and vegetables, all brought together with flavors and spices in delicious new combinations.
Tradewinds and Coconuts presents the cuisine and culture of the Pacific Islands with recipes, personal anecdotes, descriptions of native ingredients, and original artwork. Tradewinds and Coconuts is a cookbook, a reminiscence, and a colorful glimpse of island living. Inside the home cook will learn about:
* Oceanic appetizers-from hors d'oeuvres to stewy soups to luscious tropical salads
* Foods from in and around the sea-tantalizing recipes made from mollusks, crustaceans, amphibious reptiles, and Pacific Ocean fish
* Mouth-watering meats-from the familiar to the exotic
* Authentic preparation-cooking in an earth-pit oven

Customer Reviews
Atlases in our dreams!
Like the previous reviewer, I have read the recipe book and have found the recipes to be authentic and they tranported me to the Pacific Islands which even in my dreams is not the exotic Far East!
Another Brennan Masterpiece
A wonderful read, and the recipes aren't bad either. Actually the recipes are excellent. Brennan's writing is excellent and transports you to the exotic Far East if only in your dreams.
