We love Belizean Food

We love food… we love Belizean food… and we want to share it with you!  Belizean culture and food, in particular, is distinctive; from the melding of rich cultural food traditions, and the simple abundance of a tropical climate full of unique fruit, fish, and spices.

Our editors have a different amateur culinary experience that (we hope!) brings more depth and interest to our posts.  Recently, we have started including more information for people who want to cook like a Belizean outside Belize, and people who want to find substitutes to make recipes lactose-free, in less time, or perhaps without traditional methods (not too many people will dig a hole in the yard for pibil).

We welcome comments that you might have and ask that you please comment on how our recipes work for you.

Thank you, and happy cooking!
