The original Mrs. Hawaii’s Cookbook was first published in 1964. Realizing the need for a “family style†cookbook with a cosmopolitan flavor and simple yet mouth – watering recipes, Laurie Bachran, Mrs. Hawaii 1963, has put together the ones she thinks are the very best she has ever tried or tasted.
Through the illness of a dear friend, she was made aware of the importance of preventative medicine through proper nutrition and education. In this revised edition of Mrs. Hawaii’s New Cookbook , there is a Health Recipe Section that she hopes will encourage you to live a new healthy lifestyle.
For the “gourmet touch†, she has been privileged to publish the specialties of some of our top island restaurants. These you can try for that extra special dinner. So mothers, instead of lamenting, “What shall I cook today?†lets say, “E hele mai ai!†or “Come let’s eat!â€
