Скачать или смотреть Up Before Sunrise to Cook our Samoan Traditional Umu 🔥☀️🌴

It was still dark and cold when our day began—just me, my son, and our uncle Tuala, working side by side as the village slept. Before the sun had a chance to rise, we were already scraping taro by the light of the moon, hands chilled but hearts full.

I got the fire going the traditional way, using dry firewood to start the broth for our pork trotter soup—a dish that needs time, love, and patience. With the soup bubbling, we moved onto preparing the umu (Samoan earth oven), carefully layering the firewood and rocks to get them red-hot.

As the heat built, we added the heart of our meal: taro, kaamu, roast chicken, mamoe (lamb), luau, and faiai elegi (coconut cream & fish). Every layer was packed with flavor and meaning—a reflection of our culture, our family, and our love for good food.

All this effort before sunrise, not just to feast—but to make it to church on time with food in our bellies and gratitude in our hearts.

Join us on this beautiful morning journey of hard work, tradition, and faith. 🙏🏽🌺
