THIS EDITION OF TABOO TABLE IS NOT SPIRAL BOUND.
Beachbum Berry uncovers the forgotten secret food recipes from Polynesian restaurants of days gone by. Beachbum Berry's Taboo Table is a cookbook done in a style similar to the author's two drink recipe books, Beachbum Berry's Grog Log and Beachbum Berry's Intoxica. Taboo Table features famous "lost" and exotic recipes (most ironically created in the USA) for appetizers, entrees and desserts. There is also a fascinating and informative history of tiki cuisine from the first Polynesian settlers to the last remaining Polynesian restaurants. Vintage menu art as well as new, tiki-inspired artwork dot every page, making Taboo Table a must-have for people looking for a nostalgic trip into a lost part of exotica.
