It is my honor to welcome to our virtual kitchen the laurels winning writer , Lani Wendt Young!

I feel  similar I’m inwards the presence of a stone star – because that’s how I holler upward of the amazing possessor of Panipopo’s Kitchen. I am constantly inwards awe of her recipes as well as every fourth dimension I hold upward out her weblog – I am inspired to endeavor cooking something novel inwards my ain kitchen. (Doesn’t ever function similar her cooking does though.) Thank you lot for welcoming me into your kitchen today.

The showtime affair my re-create editor said to me afterward she read the TELESA manuscript was – ‘reading this made me soooo hungry! The rich descriptions of all the yummy Samoan nutrient inwards the mass actually made me want that I was taking a trip to Samoa , but as well as then that I could endeavor some of the delicious things that Leila was having.’

I dearest to consume as well as I bask cooking as well as then it’s no wonder that a lot of nutrient constitute its way into the TELESA book. Eighteen twelvemonth onetime Leila has come upward to Samoa from America inwards search of her ‘roots’ , her civilization , her family. Raised past times her Dad as well as used to living on junk nutrient , Leila is introduced to a delectable array of Samoan delights , everything from crisp , sweet panikeke amongst sinfully rich as well as sweetness kokoSamoa for breakfast - to faiai fe’e octopus baked inwards kokosnoot cream , oka raw fish soaked inwards lime as well as kokosnoot chilled to perfection , chop suey redolent amongst garlic as well as ginger. And the desserts! Leila’s Aunty Matile makes a pineapple pie amongst a crust that melts inwards your oral fissure , mucilaginous sweetness caramel faausi dumplings as well as pani popo coconut buns luxuriating inwards a sugar-laden kokosnoot cream sauce.

One of the best things close nutrient inwards Samoa – is that as well as then many of the ingredients are fresh as well as sourced correct from out the dorsum door. The best fruit salad I volition ever consume is i made from papaya as well as mangoes that my children accept picked from trees inwards our yard , ripe bananas nosotros ‘borrowed’ from that bunch hanging over our neighbor’s fighting , as well as pineapple bought from the create marketplace at Fugalei.  In my mass the Telesa are a variety of ‘environmental warrior’ , closely inwards melody amongst the globe as well as all her bounty – which agency they accept a gift amongst plants as well as depict on a rich treasure of ancient noesis to brand medicines , poisons ( they are telesa afterward all!) AND nutrient , glorious food. 

Telesa - The Covenant Keeper  is the showtime mass inwards a Young Adult fantasy romance serial ready inwards modern 24-hour interval Samoa that draws on the legends of teine Sa but amongst a huge amount of creative license as well as imagination. It’s got activity , intrigue , elements of the supernatural as well as (of course) it’s got romance amongst a gorgeous manful somebody Pb graphic symbol , Daniel… And woven into all that , is lots of food!
