Tropical Fruit Cookbook (A Kolowalu Book) by Marilyn Rittenhouse Harris

From Publishers Weekly Although this reads rather like a textbook, Harris has assembled an excellent compendium of recipes for common and not-so-common tropical fruits. The book is divided in half: the first half deals with more commonly found fruits like avocados, coconuts and pomegranates, while the second half deals with what Harris calls new-market fruits, meaning fruit that is not well-known outside its growing area, such as jackfruit, sapote and longan. Each chapter starts with a brief history of the fruit, its uses and when it first appeared in Hawaii. Copyright 1993 Cahners Business Information, Inc.

Tropical Fruit by Desmond Tate, D. J. M. Tate

Top-quality, full-color drawings and informative text make Desmond Tate's Tropical Fruit helpful both for identification of these items and for encouraging their consumption by the uninitiated. Some fruits, such as the bilimbi and snakefruit, may be novel to most readers, but bananas, avocados, and mangoes have already a long history in North America. Yet seeing both the common and the rare together establishes some standards of comparison. Each listing has a recipe to encourage using the fruit and to persuade the uninitiated to try these exotic products. Mark Knoblauch Copyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
