Kūpuna in the Kitchen was created by students at ‘Iolani School who are passionate about preserving home-cooked recipes and histories of our of beloved kūpuna. Each recipe shares the history of our kūpuna as well as the origins of their family dishes, such as Great Grandma’s New Year’s Ozoni Soup, Nana’s Pickled Aku Bones, and Moist Banana Cake.
All proceeds will go towards Project Dana and Hawai‘i Meals on Wheels, two nonprofits that are dedicated to bringing needed services to our kūpuna in Hawai‘i.
This cookbook serves to honor all kūpuna home cooks who have shaped Hawai‘i’s culinary traditions and encourage others to preserve their historic family recipes.
