visite du marché d'Antigua et cours de cuisine

Découverte du marché et des fruits endémiques du pays accompagné par la plus sympathique des guides, Veru. Une très bonne façon de plonger dans ce mélange de couleurs et d'odeurs appétissantes. En point d'orgue la découverte des liens inextricables du maïs et de la culture maya autour d'un atelier de cuisine par la très accueillante Maria et sa famille. Nous avons pris beaucoup de plaisir à cuisiner nos tamales et autres pepian. Du haut de ses 76 ans Guadalupe vous apprendra à manier le mortier...read more

Delicious traditional Guatemalan Cooking Class is a treat

Our tour guide was very nice. We started in the food market and learned about traditional Guatemalan ingredients. Then we went to the cooking class where there were three generations of Guatemalan women showing us how to make traditional tamalitos and chicken pepita. Everyone in our group helped with each step of the process and saw how to prepare parts of the meal in traditional and time-saving modern methods. The meal was so delicious and flavorful and I plan to make this same meal at home
