Hi Bev, that Sashimi Napolean looked absolutely lucious! I'll have to try that the next time my husband and I visit Maui. I recall reading that you once offered a 3 or 4-day cooking class to a small group of people that was held at Hali'imaile General Store. Is there any chance you would offer one again? I bought your cookbook during our visit last spring, and have been delighting my husband ever since. I'm sure you are very busy between the restaurant, catering business, and other commitments, but if a class were possible, we would be thrilled. BTW, our favorite recipe so far is the grilled ono with mango corn salsa. We make it with salmon because we can't get ono in South Jersey. Aloha, Cathy

Aloha Cathy! Thank you for your comment! I do offer cooking classes from time to time, so watch the blog to see when the next class is scheduled. I'm glad you like the grilled ono recipe and have adapted it to items you can get at home. I want people to make the recipes I write and if that means substituting something local and fresh from your area, by all means: improvise! Stay cool as I hear it has been a sweltering summer on the East Coast. Keep cooking and tell your husband he is a lucky guy to have such a smart, dynamic and passionate wife.....although I'm sure he certainly knows!!!!!!!!!!!
With warmest aloha,
Bev

Hi Bev,
I've been to your restaurant twice so far (2005 and 2007) and am looking forward to returning. I run a Mexican food blog for Orange County, CA, and I showed a picture of your grape and brie quesadilla on it (here) but unfortunately when I was there at the restaurant I had to use a disposable camera until my digital camera was up and running again so the picture didn't turn out so great. I was wondering if you had a higher quality photo you could send me. reviews@ocmexfood.com Thanks!

Hi Bev
I have your coobook.. the salmon studel is a favorite, but it seems that the filling is too much for the filo...do you use the sheets from the grocery...about 8x14 inches...or do you have something larger? When it syas 'dot with sauce' I have so much sauce that it's actully a layer of sauce..does this sound right.
It always turns out delicious, but I think I'm doing something wrong!

Hi Pam,
Happy holidays and thank you for your note!
The salmon streudel is also one of my favorites. It is a great lunch item served along with a simple salad.
You are making the recipe correctly. When you make the filling, it should be a very hearty amount on the filo sheets. I use the same size sheets that you are buying, but my Pastry Chef, Michelle makes them from scratch. Here's a tip - use more filling than you think you'll need. Are you taking into account the filling that you are eating while you are putting the dish together?!?!?! I always have some leftover for myself as it is so delicious! HA!!!! A layer of sauce is just fine - again, this is a rich and hearty dish, so don't be stingy!
With warmest aloha,
Bev
