Hawaii and Pacific Books. No date given. This is an interesting little book (booklet, really) that must have come out just after WW II. It was written by a Japanese lady living in Hawaii and tends to emphasize how genteel and hospitable the Japanese culture is++probably a good idea considering the historical context of the book. The recipes are all pretty basic but look good and call for real Japanese ingredients that I’m sure were either scarce or unavailable on the Mainland at the time. Shoyu is, of course, soy sauce. I can’t believe that gourmet powder could be anything but MSG. Though it doesn’t call for fiddleheads by name, I can’t imagine what else fern shoots could be.
