Garifuna Cooking Experience
(If you chose to stay at the gorgeous Hopkins Bay Beach Resort you will have easier access to this option, though it is possible to do without resort reservations as well.)
For dinner, you and your group will really connect with the locals and get a true taste of Belize, so to speak, with the Garifuna Cooking experience. Chef Gloria will come directly to your suite’s kitchen in the resort and coordinate a private cooking demonstration, or you can book a dinner through the Taste Belize Food and Culture Tours. Either way, you will be in for a treat as you get a private, personal cooking lesson on traditional Belizean cuisine, the absolute best way to dine while here at Hopkins.
The beautifully and colorfully dressed Garifuna women will prepare a signature specialty while explaining further their people's past culture and history in Belize, as well as present traditions and future in the country. While the dishes change nightly, the ingredients remain the same, Belizean staples of local and fresh coconut milk, fish, cassava, garlic, black pepper, and plantain. If you booked through Taste Belize you can also at the Fire Hearth Cooking and Che’il Chocolate tour afterward, sampling some of the finest and most traditional chocolate making in the region.
