Using a traditional Samoan umu (fire pit), guests now have the opportunity to fully immerse themselves into the Polynesian culture by preparing their very own home-cooked island meal! Our host, Creasepaul, thoroughly guides you through each step from beginning to end. As a native of Samoa, Creasepaul grew up learning how to efficiently live off the land and helped prepare fresh, healthy food for his family. After all, it is Samoan custom that men do the cooking! While the rocks in the umu are heating up, you’ll learn the proper way to prepare various Samoan cuisines including taro, green bananas, breadfruit, and even coconut-cream dishes such as palusami and fai’ai eleni.
