What followed the invention of fire? The party. That's because once man had a warm, inviting place to gather, everyone wanted to congregate in his cave. Not much has changed today except the quality of the fire pit. This one is made of heavy-gauge solid copper by artisans in Turkey.

Sam Choy's Island Flavors

Hawaiian chef Sam Choy is sassy and sweet. So are the flavors of his food. Choy's cooking is hapu, a hybrid of Polynesian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and European influences, combined in what he calls local-style cooking. Fish or seafood stars in many dishes. Choy's marinades are generally a blend of garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sugar, with varying accents of scallion, sesame oil, and hot peppers. Both the preparation of ingredients and the cooking method are quick for most dishes. The accompaniment, often a salsa or chutney, is usually a toss-together of chopped fresh fruits and vegetables that can be made ahead of time. A fish-lovers delight, this book also offers appealing chicken recipes: Quick and Easy Shoyu Chicken, made with teriyaki sauce, will please just about everyone. If you can chop, stir-fry, and grill, Sam Choy's Island Cooking provides a fast, fun taste trip to the tropics. Don't miss the desserts and exotic drinks, like Lava Flow and Kona MacFreeze.

Green Papaya Salad

Hawaiian food has definitely grown to include foods from other cultures and thai food is no exception to this trend. This delicious thai papaya salad (som tum thai) is a hot and spicy green papaya salad, originating from the Northeast region of Thailand (the most popular dish among women in Thailand, actually). It's normally eaten with barbecued meat and sticky rice. making it a great choice to serve as luau food as a side dish.

Combine the grated papaya with the sliced tomatoes and shrimp, if using, in a large bowl.

Combine all the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl and whisk until combined.

Pour the dressing over the salad and lightly toss to coat evenly.
