# Cook Real Hawai'i: A Cookbook - Hardcover

by **Sheldon Simeon** (Author), **Garrett Snyder** (Author)

****The story of Hawaiian cooking, by a two-time _Top Chef_ finalist and Fan Favorite, through 100 recipes that embody the beautiful cross-cultural exchange of the islands.****

**ONE OF THE TEN BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: _The New Yorker_ - ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR: _The New York Times,_ _The Washington Post,_ NPR, _Taste of Home,_ _Vice, Serious Eats_**

Even when he was winning accolades and adulation for his cooking, two-time _Top Chef_ finalist Sheldon Simeon decided to drop what he thought he was _supposed_ to cook as a chef. He dedicated himself instead to the local Hawai'i food that feeds his 'ohana--his family and neighbors. With uncomplicated, flavor-forward recipes, he shows us the many cultures that have come to create the cuisine of his beloved home: the native Hawaiian traditions, Japanese influences, Chinese cooking techniques, and dynamic Korean, Portuguese, and Filipino flavors that are closest to his heart.

Through stunning photography, poignant stories, and dishes like wok-fried poke, pork dumplings made with biscuit dough, crispy cauliflower katsu, and charred huli-huli chicken slicked with a sweet-savory butter glaze, _Cook Real Hawai'i_ will bring a true taste of the cookouts, homes, and iconic mom and pop shops of Hawai'i into your kitchen.
