Maui Tacos Cookbook

I recently returned from Hawaii and found myself still thinking about the awesome food we had there...especially at Maui Tacos! I was Googling for recipes so I could recreate some of the dishes we'd had there, and discovered they had a cookbook. You might think that you don't need a cookbook for tacos, but the special marinades, salsa and sauces at Maui Tacos is what really sets their dishes apart and this cookbook contains all the recipes and instructions needed to get the tropical island flavors just right! It's also giving me the chance to try out some of the dishes I didn't get to eat while I was there...totally makes me want to go back soon!!! This book is authentic, so if you are going to Hawaii or just got back, this book makes the perfect souvenir or gift and you can order it online so you don't have to lug it back with you, or feel guilty telling someone you bought it for them in Hawaii when you give it to them!

Ordered as a Christmas gift. Came fast and in perfect condition. Daughter-in-law requested it and loves it.

This is a great little cookbook. The recipes are all very easy and quick. Perfect for throwing your own taco party.

Mmm. Mexican cuisine!Well, Maui-Mex cuisine, actually. But how do you prepare it? This book offers some good advice and useful recipes. Obviously, you need good ingredients and you should try to serve food when it is fresh. This book teaches some fundamentals, such as how to prepare rice, beans, and potatoes. Then we learn about marinades, guacamoles, and salsas. After that, burritos, tacos, and other items right from the Maui Tacos menus. Finally, a few desserts and drinks. It is a fine basic cookbook. Enjoy it!

This cookbook brings back memories of days at the Kamaole Beach park on Maui. We would run across South Kihei Road and grab a huge Maui Tacos burrito. I may not be able to sit under a lauhala tree and watch a dazzling Maui sunset to the sound of crashing waves while enjoying the Maui-Mex food, but the book helps me recreate the great burritos and salsas with Hawaiian names that I remember so well. The recipes are easy enough for cooks of any skill level and they are especially good for folks who like to grill meat. Mark Ellman makes Mexican food sing with subtle Hawaiian flavors...and the salsas dance the hula in your mouth.
