Here's an article from today's Honolulu Advertiser about the book release event on Wednesday night:

The author seems nice, but this quote bothered me:

*"The recipes in the book were selected from more than 90 suggestions, said Tsutsumi, who still prefers a chardonnay to a mai tai.

"I tasted some, not all," she said. "I would have been flat on my back."*

Wrote a book of Mai Tai recipes, and didn't try them all. Jeff Berry she ain't.
