Our goal is to show you how to enjoy your treats while maintaining good health.” Designed to satisfy any sweet tooth, the new cookbook offers nearly 100 recipes for delicious—and healthy—snacks and desserts. Assembled by the chefs and faculty of the Kapi‘olani Community College Culinary Arts Department, this companion guide to the best-selling A DASH of Aloha: Healthy Hawai‘i Cuisine and Lifestyle presents healthful sweet treats along with nutritional values, sensible alternatives, tips from the experts and seasonality charts for buying local. A Sweet Dash of Aloha is an excellent resource for Island families—childhood obesity is a major concern in Hawai‘i, and the Islands’ multi-generational households must often consider healthier options for adults who need to limit sugar or fat intake. To encourage keiki to eat healthy and prepare their own nutritious food, a chapter is dedicated to child-friendly recipes. Other chapters are devoted to gluten-free dishes and alternatives to refined sugar and eggs. Each recipe has been chosen to appeal to the Hawai‘i-style palate and is accompanied by a Nutrition Facts chart. Taste-tempting treats such as Chocolate-Dipped Macaroons, Peppermint–Chocolate Chip Cookies, Gluten-Free Liliko‘i Bars, and Almond Thumbprint Cookies, all 120 calories per serving or below, are bound to please. Contributing chefs Sharon Kobayashi, Alyssa Moreau and Carol Nardello all specialize in creating recipes for healthy foods. Editor Wanda Adams is a former Honolulu Advertiser features and food editor.
