Reminiscence, Reflections, and Recipes Marian Morey

Post World War II Hawaii: an exotic location and a formative time in American history. In Reminisce, Reflections, and Recipes: Memories of Growing Up in Hawaii, Marian "Tutu" Morey takes a look at her charmed and charming childhood on the islands in this era prior to Hawaii's statehood and shares some of her favorite recipes from then and today. From her first cooking lessons in the neighbor's kitchen, to family picnics at Waimea Canyon Lookout, from surfing lessons with her dad, to the day that she met Elvis, Morey reflects lovingly on her youth at a time when Hawaii and the United States were so much younger. As a bonus, Morey shares "Tutu Pa's Tales from the Taro Patch," her father's animated interpretation of fairy tale classics set to whimsical Hawaiian pidgin rhyme.
