The Island Bistro Cookbook is a collection of more than 90 recipes from Chaowasaree’s award-winning Honolulu restaurants, Chai’s Island Bistro and Singha Thai Cuisine.
A prominent figure in Hawai‘i Regional Cuisine, Chef Chai is a founder of Hawaiian Island Chefs, the organization promoting homegrown agriculture and aquaculture. He hosts the popular television cooking program “Dining Out with Chai” and has earned numerous culinary honors, including the America’s Top Tables award from Gourmet magazine.
In The Island Bistro Cookbook, Chaowasaree captures both the contemporary ambience of his restaurants and the spirit behind his distinctive style of fusion cuisine. From Eggplant Souffle to Crème Brûée, the dishes in this lavish, hardcover volume are simple yet elegant—equally at home in a tropical bistro or on the reader’s dinner table.
The Island Bistro Cookbook is retail priced at $32.50 at bookstores, Chai’s Island Bistro, and other retail outlets from Watermark Publishing.
