Celebrate Colorado Book

Part history, part anthropology, part culinary - this is my kind of book. In fact, it's one of my favorite cookbooks ever, and not just because it reminds me of Hawaii. I often use cookbooks as guidebooks when I travel, because I like to understand the culinary history of the places I go. I used this book on a recent trip to Hawaii - sure, the beaches are stunning in Hawaii - but my lord, the food! It's amazing. Hawaii's food is so fascinating - it i an amalgam of so many different cultures and their unique roles in Hawaii's history. Rachel Laudan really captures this in her book and I can't get enough of it. Can you tell I heart Hawaii? I really do.
