I remember seeing that episode and being disgusted.. such a misrepresentation of the hawaiian culture. Its OUR responsibility to stand up against things like this and im disappointed that only 3 people before me commented. Things like online databases where youre given a hawaiian name, youtube video that show how to make a baking pan laulau with coconut milk, lack of knowledge even IN the culture about the history, people saying theyre hawaiian even when they arent just to seem "cool".. hawaiians are too lazy now days.. we've become to accustomed to fast food, tv's, video games and the internet to be bothered to fight for our culture. THIS is why hawaiians were against sharing our culture with other ethnicities, they dont respect the culture enough to make sure its correctly represented. I remember my grandma telling me not to tell non hawaiians anything about our culture or share any stories etc... this is why!

I am a native hawaiian born and raised in the islands and I was rather displeased with the whole show. How was it possible that Paula did no research into the hawaiian culture. Those dancers that she had on the show were Tahitian dancers not Hula dancers there is a big difference!!!!!!

aloha paula,
first of all i want to let you know that i enjoy all of your shows and i watch them all of the time. my comment is on the laulau recipe you did on your show the other night. you didn't include the lu`au leaves that make up the rest of the recipe. that is the reason it takes so long to steam. however, i see on the recipe on the internet, it does include the leaves. just wanted to make sure the authentic recipe was conveyed to your audiences. i am hawaiian and have made laulau many times in the past. otherwise i enjoyed the show as you always are very entertaining.

aloha,
manu maunupau
pearl city, hawai`i

I normally enjoy Paula's recipes but was very disappointed when I saw her make laulau on a recent show. The laulau on Paula's show is absolutely nothing like what real laulau is like. They didn't even use luau leaves! This recipe does, and is a slightly better take on true laulau than what was made on Paula's show.
