What The Islands Are Known For

When you think of the islands, you think of great weather, warm ocean, and great food, right? Take hawaii, for instance, The weather is perfect day and night all year long. Many things to do and many different types of food as well. The food choices range from anything you can think of. The fact is that there are so many visitors and so many different nationalities there now, you can find food from almost every culture there.
When you think of the islands, you think of beautiful areas and the comfort of all elements. If you have ever been to Hawaii, you wish that you could just stay there forever or even bring Hawaii back with you. Truth is, you cant. You cant take the weather back, or the ocean, but there is one thing you can take back and that is the taste of hawaii.
Food from hawaii have a tendency to be jam packed with flavor. The richness in flavor never takes away from the flavor of the food either. There are a number of authentic types of hawaiian food. There is chicken long rice, laulau, lomi lomi salmon, poki(raw seafood with flavoring), shoya chicken, kalua pig,etc. That is just to name a few. I will be posting numorous recipes of authentic hawaiian food as well as other foods that have the island flare. I know because, I was originally from Hawaii, born and raised.
I know that people love the food and I always prepare it now, especially because it brings back so many memories of when I lived there as well as makes me remember my family, especially my mom, who was the main preparer of all the food that I have learned to perfect. So if it is food with alot of flavor and food that will make people think that you are a professional chef, then this is for you.
As stated before, I will be adding recipies and luau ideas as well, as this is a work in progress for now. Be sure to come regularly for authentic island recipes here.
