Sixteen years ago, Jean Hee released her first desserts cookbook, Hawaii's Best Local Desserts. Almost a decade later, by popular demand Jean released Hawaii's New Best Local Desserts, a collection of recipes that couldn't be finished on time for her first book (Jean rigorously test and double tests each recipe) and ones that had been passed on by friends and family in the years that followed, some geared for quick preparation for the busy lifestyle that had become the norm. This newest book, The Best of the Best Hawaii Local Desserts, is a collection of Jean's favorite dessert recipes compiled from all her cookbooks--not just the desserts ones--so they can be found in one convenient volume. For this new compilation, Jean hand-picked the most popular and favorite recipes which she tested and retested. The result is a collection of easy-to-prepare desserts that use ingredients found in any pantry as well as elegant, made-from-scratch masterpieces for those who have the time to bake on a lazy Sunday afternoon. The recipes take advantage of Hawaii's bounty of fruit. There's plenty of bread pudding recipes, chocolate galore, and a wide variety of cookies, bars, tarts and cupcakes that are sure to be an instant hit with any crowd.

She lays eggs on the roach, eggs that soon burrow into the roach's immobilized body and feast on its innards A former staffer at Honolulu magazine, Kathryn Drury Wagner researched everything from whale poop to flesh-eating caterpillars, from how to make a sea cucumber edible to why you should never, ever whistle at night.

It would be difficult to name any location that has been more affected and altered by the camera than Oahu's famous North Shore. Thanks in part to the power of the photographic image; the population of the North Shore has grown to accommodate 18,000 residents and more than two million annual visitors, all in an area just 7 miles long, between precipitous mountain cliffs and the vast Pacific Ocean. The North Shore was once a remote and undocumented playground to Hawaiian Royalty, but with the introduction of the railroad, the Haleiwa hotel and finally big-wave surfers, Oahu's North Shore has become more of a 24-hour carnival than a lazy country town. Life-long North Shore resident and talented photographer Adam Palmer has captured the many facets of this "seven-mile miracle" and Will Hoover has covered the North Shore beat in the Honolulu Advertiser since 2002. North Shore is a fantastic and beautiful photographic ride from Laie to Waimea Bay.

Long before the infamous day of December 7, 1941 when Pearl Harbor was attacked, it was a tropical lagoon fed by streams that lowed down from the Ko'olau mountains used by the Hawaiian people as an extensive system of fishponds. In 1940, the U.S. headquartered its Pacific Fleet there, America was at war, and Hawai'i was at the helm as the central defense post of the Pacific. Pearl Harbor: Images of an American Memorial is a photographic memorial documenting Pearl Harbor's past through violent attacks and years of reflection and repair. Filled with rare photographs, Pearl Harbor is shown as it once was, providing context to the events of the "date which will live in infamy."
