I love this cookbook by Amalia Moreno-Damgaard so I’m sharing with you and any foodies you may have in your life. In the Preface, Amalia writes that it’s her “modern take an an ancient cuisine that is not known outside Guatemala.” The 170 recipes are a mix of traditional dishes and Amalia’s own creations–from her grandmother’s kitchen to her own classical education in French cooking. Selections range from breakfast, tapas, and street food to Guatemalan barbeque, Mayan stews, and holiday cuisine. Salsas, sweets, and “the Guatemalan bar”: this cookbook has it all, including a helpful section titled “Guatemalan-isms.”
Available wherever books are sold. Buen provecho!
