What better place to learn how to open a coconut than the Maui Tropical Fruit Plantation? Welcome to the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii. It’s my favorite place on the entire planet, and today we’ll learn how to open a coconut the Hawaiian way.
Even though I’m on vacation and have my pick of dozens of fantastic restaurants, I’m not taking a vacation from food and cooking. Nor am I on holiday from sharing my passion for food and cooking with everyone that watches my videos.
Cooking is not only my profession, but my hobby. I love to learn about new foods, cultural interpretations of ingredients, and cooking methods that I’ve never seen before. That’s why my I love to seek out fruits, vegetables, fish, and spirits that are new to me. I love to cook when I’m on holiday because I have the freshest ingredients at my disposal. I can always apply basic cooking methods to a new item, never need a written recipe, and always come out with something terrific!
Over the next two weeks, we’ll share my food and cooking journey through Maui and Kauai in Hawaii. We’ll visit farmers markets, fish markets, a rum distillery, and cook great meals from a rental kitchen. And I didn’t have to pack a single recipe book! Aloha and Mahalo!

The tool she’s using is a metal spike that’s bolted to the bench.
At Luau’s, they usually use a pointed stick, one end stuck in the ground, the other to open the husk.
One question….what is the tool that she is using to husk the coconut???…And wish I were there……LOL
Oh boy Chef, you must be selling a lot of video’s to be taking these vacations!
Thanks for the video and making us all jealous.
Looking forward to see what else you have in store for us from Maui…….
Nice video Todd…many memories from Maui, that is where I honeymooned almost 23 years ago. What a great and fantastic island.
