Macadamia Nut

Active time: 1 hr Start to finish: 5 hr

These ice cream sandwiches are served at Hula Grill in Kaanapali, Maui, Hawaii.

Like a traditional basil pesto, this sauce can also be mixed with pasta, stirred into soup for a lively accent or spread over grilled fish.

Tropical flavors star in this cool indulgence.

The flavor and texture of these chewy confections are even better if they are allowed to rest overnight.

The sweet bread called for here was introduced to Hawaii by nineteenth-century Portuguese immigrants. The stuffing can also be cooked inside the turkey, provided the bird is roasted immediately after being stuffed. For more flavor, rub the turkey with a mixture of salt and pepper and two tablespoons each of sesame oil, orange juice and lime juice, and let it marinate overnight.

Be sure to use extra-ripe mangoes when preparing this rich, creamy dessert.

These cookies have a wonderful texture; chewy yet crunchy-just like a candy bar.

The delicious macadamia nut crust is an innovative twist on a favorite dessert.
