Latin American Cuisine: Taste of Guatemalan Cuisine (Latin American Cuisine, #13) (ePub)

With over 13 million inhabitants, Guatemala is the most populous country in Central America. As such, this tropical nation boasts a diverse array of traditional foods. Indigenous ingredients once cultivated by the ancient Maya mix with new items and techniques imported during Spanish colonial rule.
Guatemala's many cuisines reflect the melding of very sophisticated pre-Colombian cooking styles with European influences, as well as the availability of manufactured food products from all over the world.
The cuisine of Guatemala is a melange resulting from both the Mayan and Spanish heritage of the country, with lots of corn, beans and rice served alongside meats, fish, and fowl. Because of its very temperate climate, Guatemala has very fertile farmlands where crops like coffee, cocoa, sugar and tropical fruits flourish.
