This Is How We Make Takaota in the Cook Islands | Umu Cooking in Mauke

This vlog takes you back to Mauke, Cook Islands, where we prepare takaota, a traditional coconut pudding, the old-school way in an umu (underground oven). Takaota isn’t just food — it’s culture, family, and island life passed down through generations. In this video, I document the full process of making takaota the traditional way, from preparation to cooking it in the umu, while sharing a real glimpse into life on a Cook Islands outer island.
