GUAM RECIPES - TESTED, TRIED, AND TRUE, for people craving local food - priceless!
Born and raised on Guam, Paula continues to take pride in her Chamorro heritage. The Chamorros are the native people of Guam and the Northern Marianas Islands. Paula, like many of her fellow islanders, left home to pursue a higher education.
Paula was so inspired by her latest trip to Guam in February 2006. With a desire to preserve and share her culture, Paula wrote A Taste of Guam in the Winter of 2006. It was published by Infinity Publishing in July of that same year. All the recipes include a short narrative: something from a friend, a tip from grandma or a slice of history.
Paula's next book will be available in July 2009: Remember Guam, A collection of memories and recipes to warm you heart and lighten your spirit. This is a beautiful compilation of precious stories from folks who at one time or another, were on Guam, spanning across the oceans and across the generations. This book will also have 20 recipes NOT found in A Taste of Guam.
Additionally, Paula is working on a historical romance novel, Chamorrita Passions. Paula says that "although this is indeed a romance novel, it is a culmination of Guam's history, rich in culture, food, war, respect, traditions, etc." She advises this is a great opportunity to bring to life the yesteryears in ways more exciting than a plain, old, history book.
