Happy fall everyone! The holidays and food bring people together. That’s why we are excited to share more UH-mazing holiday recipes from our University of Hawaiʻi ʻohana!
We enjoyed some delicious submissions in 2024, including Val Melle’s ʻUlu Butter Mochi, Chef Roy Yamaguchi’s mom’s green beans and Tori Hiro’s family recipe for pinakbet.

UH News invites members of our UH ʻohana to share a recipe and short write up for the holiday season (to include Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, New Years and any seasonal event our families celebrate). These will run in UH News November–December.
Each submission should include:
- Recipe
- A short explanation of why it is special or significant to you, or why your family serves the dish during which holiday (one or two paragraphs)
- Photos of the prepared dish and the UH person who is submitting the recipe
- Contact information, name, title, campus, email and phone number for the person who is submitting the recipe
For questions or to submit your UH-mazing holiday recipe, contact your campus communicator or news@hawaii.edu. We look forward to learning more about you and your holiday traditions and foods and sharing these with others.
