Food in Guatemala

Guatemala, a country with a tapestry as colorful as its woven textiles, is a land where history, culture, and gastronomy intertwine to create a unique culinary identity. Nestled in Central America, Guatemala is not just a geographical wonder, with its lush rainforests, towering volcanoes, and serene lakes, but also a cultural mosaic. The heart of this mosaic is its cuisine, a vivid reflection of its rich cultural heritage.

Perfectly baked haddock (or cod)

Haddock's characteristics make it particularly well-suited for baking. Its firm texture ensures that it remains intact and doesn't disintegrate in the oven, a common plight with more delicate fish. Moreover, the gentle cooking method of baking is perfect for preserving the moistness of haddock, preventing it from drying out, which can often be the case with more robust cooking techniques. Baking also allows for the infusion of flavors, whether it's a simple herb seasoning or a more elaborate marinade, enhancing the natural taste of the fish without overpowering it.
