Winner of the Ka Palapala Po'okela, Hawaii Book Publishers Association, Award of Excellence, The Blue Tomato has compiled the inspiration behind the cuisine of Hawaii's Master Chef Alan Wong.

Featuring more than 200 recipes in 70 elegant dishes, from Coconut Butter Poached Lobster to Unagi Roulade to Wagyu-Wrapped ‘Ahi, The Blue Tomato: The Inspirations Behind the Cuisine of Alan Wong shares the stories behind the recipes, revealing the fun and philosophy of creative cooking.
