Yet, Yamaguchi's creativity is far from reckless. His food is not merely interesting. It tastes as vibrant and colorful as it looks. Also, the recipes of Roy's Feasts from Hawaii are clearly written to ease the uninitiated into a new way of cooking. While they tend to call for long lists of ingredients, the actual preparation isn't overly complicated.
Directions are short and to the point.
If some of the ingredients aren't readily available on the mainland, Yamaguchi provides substitutions. What's more, he encourages home cooks to go their own way with his recipes. A pioneer of food styles, Yamaguchi knows that in order for home cooks to truly appreciate the art and beauty of the cuisine of the Pacific Rim, they must have the freedom to make his recipes their own.
