 Tasty pupus from the tropical/tiki/exotica table of yore November 13, 2008
This is a food-centered book from Beachbum Berry, following his brilliant Grog Log which recreates the classic exotic cocktails. The couple of recipes that I've tried turned out well, but the cookbook is a little minimal, especially in terms of presentation. After all, good food was not the main reason to go to Trader Vic's, was it? Strong drinks and exotic atmosphere had to be higher on the list. And the atmosphere/presentation is a bit lacking in this book. But really, I shouldn't focus on a minor gripe in a positive review! Beachbum Berry has done more than anyone to bring the tastes of the tiki/tropical/south seas/exotica movement back to us. And this is a fine work in that direction.
Nice coverage February 16, 2007

This book is a nice cross section of the Tikis of yore, with a focus on the food rather than the drinks (though there's a few). My only disappointment with this book is that the its fabrication is less than spectacular. Other than that, the content is great. When I cook with it, I'll probably just copy the receipes as to not risk damaging it.
