Today's recipe is provided by home chef Kurt Winner from Portland, Oregon. This recipe comes to mind as he prepares to attend the International Food Wine and Travel Writers Association (IFWTWA) annual writers conference. This year the conference is being held at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort and Spa, Oahu.
About a hundred writers will meet to attend workshops on various aspects of food, wine and travel writing, as well as attending road trips to find the “Real Hawaii” through History, Arts, Culture, and Food. The IFWTWA has really outdone themselves this year. The hotel rates, (mostly) free activities and workshops just couldn't be negoitiated by a single writer or typical vistor on their own.
If you're a leisure lifestyle writer, you can join the fun. Check out this Website for additional information.
Until we meet in Hawaii, here's the recipe for a snappy pupu best served with a beer or sassy Hawaiian umbrella cocktail.
