Sugarplum Sweets Cookbook - Hawaii Ballet Theatre

Additional Details

Description: Favorite Dessert Recipes from Local Families plus a Selection of "Best" Recipes from Island Cooks & Hawaii Restaurants as Featured in The Honolulu Advertiser. Hawaii has a sweet tooth. No family gathering, company picnic or dinner party is complete without someone's special dessert confection. In the Islands, dessert goes far beyond the usual pies, cakes and cookies -- although these favorites are found on everyone's list, usually with a special local touch of Hawaii's exotic fruits and nuts. Island desserts also include Japanese mochi in unusual tastes and combinations -- poi, coconut-based haupia and more. A dessert table in an Island home is likely to be as diverse and complex as our Island population. 

This book offers a selection of the state's finest desserts, drawn from the closely-held recipe files of Island families as well as from several of Hawaii's finest restaurants and award-winning cooks who shared their secrets with The Honolulu Advertiser. At Hawaii Ballet Theatre, we often enjoy a pot-luck dinner after a difficult rehearsal or a successful performance. Special treats, such as the ones you'll find on these pages, are always part of the menu. As you thumb through this book, you'll find appealing photographs of our young dancers, in rehearsal and class, as well as thoughts from the dancers on why they have committed themselves to ballet.
