Hawaiian food is about more than the ingredients. It brings memories, aloha, and a sense of home.

Chef Bryan Kennedy grew up in Hawaiʻi, became a vegan chef in 2018, and dedicated himself to one question: What does Hawaiian soul food taste like when plants lead the way? Ono Roots is the answer. Thoughtfully developed and served on tables from Houston to Chiang Mai. This is a collection of those recipes.

I had gone to both of Chef Bryan’s pop-ups in Chiang Mai. I was so excited to see that he released a cookbook, so now I can make the same yummy recipes at home!”
