Last year at this time, we were in Guatemala for the Giant Kite Festival, a colourful tradition for All Saints' Day, a time for honouring loved ones who have passed away.
This year I'm remembering two very special women, my mother-in-law Mama Tayo and Thelma de Valdez, who generously shared family recipes, kitchen wisdom and a love of cooking with me.
Mama Tayo making tamales and Thelma de Valdez with chile rellenos.
I'll be carrying those memories with me to Puerto Vallarta for DΓa de Muertos, where I'll place their photos on an altar in remembrance.
So this issue I'm sharing some favourite Guatemalan recipes, ideas for experiencing DΓa de Muertos in Mexico and at home, plus the latest culinary travel news.
πΏ Tortitas de Berro (Watercress Patties) – Crispy on the outside and tender inside, these easy patties are a favourite of Guatemalan home cooking. Try watercress or switch things up with blanched cauliflower.
π Pepitoria (Pumpkin Seed Seasoning) – A popular Guatemalan and Salvadoran street food seasoning made with ground toasted squash seeds. Sprinkle it over fresh mango or other sliced fruit.
π¬πΉ Pepian Chicken Stew – Thelma's recipe for Guatemala's national dish is the version our family continues to make for special gatherings.
Bye for now! Happy travels and cooking!
