Hawaii Maui CookBooks and Recipes

Cook Your Own Food: Savings and Family Fun Guaranteed!

Talking about Maui cookbooks and recipes on a travel site may not make sense to you at first, but I assure you it does. In fact, it's a natural match. Let me explain.

Not long ago, I shared some links to help you find the best Maui restaurants in another article available on this site. Eating out in a good Maui restaurant is surely a great experience. But in my opinion, it's only half the pleasure. The easiest way to eat well and taste the real Hawaii during your vacation is to cook your own food.

I know, I know… some of you will say: Who wants to get busy in the kitchen while on vacations?. I totally understand that it may sound like work at first. But cooking can be turned into a great family activity and even create some of the most memorable moments of your vacations. Cooking in Maui is all about exploring and embracing the Hawaiian way of life. It can, and should be, part of your trip. Try it, you won't regret it.

Those of you who have already rented a vacation house or villa are almost ready to start. The famous BBQ is waiting for you on the lanai (patio). All you need is great fresh food to cook Hawaiian Style.

Head to the grocery, grab some awesome local grown fruits and vegetables: pineapple, papaya, guava, mango, avocado, asparagus, potatoes, etc. Ask for local fishes: ahi, aku, albacore (tuna), marlins, uku, taape (snappers) and a lot more. Start the BBQ and your grilled fish feast is on its way!

Don't hesitate to taste Hawaii's seafood's diversity: squid and octopus, shellfishes, black crabs, lobsters, prawns and shrimps. Get a good glass of wine (maybe from the one and only Maui's Winery) or a cold beer from the Maui Brewing Co. (why not!), enjoy the sunset with friends and family and let your senses do the rest. THAT is vacation!
