I got this as a gift also, and we forgot to ask the TC people who came to my birthday party if they'd ever head of it. It's pretty cool, it's nice to have some basic pupu recipes. I can't wait to make the ahi tuna poki! mmmmm poki!

I think if I were un-initiated to tiki, this isn't too bad a place to start. It's got nice photos, and there's some good advice (use fresh squeezed juice when at all possible, good fruit buying tips, rum advice, how to make garnishes, etc. for beginners)

Plus it's got all the Trader Vic's drink recipes. GUN CLUB PUNCH! Now I just need to swipe a few GCP mugs from Vic's :wink: It'll make a nice gift for all your friends and relatives who don't quite 'get' the tiki thing! Maybe I'll get it for my sister, and we can get a decent drink at their house!

It is very weird though, to get a book about tiki that Otto or Sven hasn't written the intro to... or been thanked in the forward. But we'll let it slide!
