Hi.. if you type Cook Islands into the left search bar and change last 24 hours to anytime, then search, a range of recipes from there will come up..

Best wishes for a gorgeous wedding and a marriage that's happy and fulfilling and brings you much love and joy..

I would think it would be much the same as other PI food?Not sure if they eat palusami (in the above link it's called rukau - when we make it we also put a bit of flour in to thicken the coconut cream), taro in coconut cream, raw fish (in coconut cream) of course.I know my raro friend used to make corned beef, cabbage, onions & tomatoes in ... you guessed it, coconut cream!if you can also get hold of any paua - it is divine when cooked in coconut cream also ;)
