This one’s a bit of a cobbled together post as I kind of sampled Ecuadorian food in a haphazard manner… My first foray into Ecuadorian food was through the Quito Culinary Tour and Cooking Class, which was followed up by the Friday Night Food Walking Tour offered by Community Hostel in Quito.

Apart from the Culinary tour I did in Quito when I first arrived in Ecuador, other opportunities for cooking workshops have been few and far between. However, wandering down a random street in Cuenca I saw a sign outside of the restaurant “La Warmi” that was advertising one for that very night. Must have

Central American local markets are fascinating places. They are usually dark, cramped rabbit warrens that sell everything under the sun at much cheaper prices that you can get in the supermarkets and shops elsewhere in the town.

My first week in Guatemala I’d read about the Kids Restaurant. As the name suggests, this is a restaurant that is run entirely by kids (under adult supervision), but it only opens its doors every second Friday. Luckily I was there on one of the Fridays it was open so I decided to try it

Although I’d done a cacao tour back in Nicaragua where I learned about growing and processing cacao, I decided to also do the chocolate making workshop at Choco Museo while I was in Antigua. And although the first part covered the same information as what I’d had before (much better to do this part in
