A Chinese Kitchen: What I Learned in Writing a Cookbook about Chinese Food in Hawaii
Lynette Lo Tom wrote the fourth cookbook in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser’s series on ethnic foods in Hawaii. Using dishes from good family cooks; her mother, grandfather and grandmother, she put recipes to their favorite foods. In her research, she compared Hawaii-style food with that in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and specifically in Zhongshan, China. She visited those locations in her quest to find out if there is a unique Chinese-Hawaiian food (the answer is yes).
