If only I'd known about this wonderful little book before landing on the Big Island. I would have made it a point to eat twice as much twice as often. Jessica Ferracane gives you the inside track on all the best eats on the Island. Now I have to go back for the Big Island roll with ahi, avocado and macadmaia nuts at the Ocean Sushi deli in Hilo. Thank goodness I made it to the bustling Hilo farmers market in time for Green Papaya salad. I'll be back!
