Remember Guam Paula Ann Lujan Quinene ISBN: 0-7414-5503-x Remember Guam is the most heart felt collection of memories and recipes, I have ever read before. We need more books that are this delightful, and heart warming. This is the only book I have opened and felt as if I had been right there along with the other occupants of Guam, and felt right at home. Guam is a special community as everyone has special memories and the completeness of the memoires ties everything together, along with the recipes that are the added bonus. Paula gives everyone the inside passport to visit Guam with this book, without leaving your livingroom. Paula shows the love she has for her home and it would make a wonderful gift to any and all who wants to learn more about other cultures. I highly recommend this book to everyone looking to find something new or old which ever you perfer to look at it. Keep writing Paula it is wonderful.

A delightful fusion of a tasty cookbook and cultural memories and milestones throughout the decades on a beautiful Pacific island whose treasures are lost on most. Remember Guam fills that void perfectly for readers, making you feel like you are a part of this special community, and the uniqueness of this book including recipes tied to the anecdotes along the way is unmatched. Paula Ann Lujan Quinene provides the reader with a ticket to an incredible journey from the moment that you open the cover. After trying out most of the recipes and following along to the instructional videos online, you cannot walk away from this book not understanding the author’s love of home and passion to share it. Would make a great gift for anyone interested in learning about other cultures, reminiscing on their experiences in Guam, or for your favorite chef looking to expand their culinary palate! Highly recommended and very well done, Remember Guam left me wanting to plan a holiday to experience everything the island had to offer first hand!
