In 1967, Jo Byars (wife of Trader Franks) wrote and illustrated a 33-page cookbook called Trader Frank's Exotic Menu Recipes. It's loaded with recipes for simple 'Polynesian-style' food; stuff that would make fun, funky, and inexpensive party dishes. When you factor in Jo's artwork (tikis, wahines, flowers, etc.), it's a must-have tiki classic. Recipes include Steak Teriyaki, Shrimp Tempura, and two of my favorites: the Tiki Sandwhich (a regular ham sandwhich!), and the Fire Dog (a hot-dog sliced on one side and then cooked so that it curls into a circle; serve on a hamburger bun). Check it out on our website; we still have a few new-old-stock cookbooks for sale.
