Signed copy of Hawaii Food & Wine Festival's "Taste Our Love for the Land" cookbook by HFWF's CEO Denise Yamaguchi.

The Hawaii Food & Wine Festival’s overarching theme is “Taste Our Love for the Land.” Stretching from mauka (toward the mountain) to makai (toward the sea), the ahupuaa, the ancient Hawaiian land division, is reflected in our logo.

This book takes us on a culinary journey through the eyes and palates of these chefs who have participated in our Festival over the years. Thirty-one of them have generously contributed recipes and their thoughts and ideas about what “taste our love for the land” means to them—and what they’re doing in their communities to promote the notion that we should all care about what happens in our own backyards.
