I have always been interested in food, I remembered if someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up I would always say “A Dietician”. Even though I was a tomboy I always liked being in the kitchen with my mom. My mom worked in the food industry so there was always a new experiment in our kitchen, especially during the time when there was a ban on flour and the other food staples. My mom became a ‘food scientist”. I could still remember all the different recipes she created using rice, plantain, and cassava flour (and she made her own).
During my final year in high school, I was very excited when I found out my application was accepted to GAHEF (Guyana Agency for Health Sciences, Education, Environment and Food Policy) for a work study program. It was an experience that I would always remember.
Even though eventually my area of study differed from that of the food industry, it seemed that anything I was involved in led me back to the culinary industry. I am a Marketer and website designer by profession, and photography is my passion. If you ask what subject I love most when taking photos I would tell you food. I would spend hours pouring over glossy publications and websites featuring professional “foodography” Now I have decided to create my own, showcasing the many culinary delights of the country of my birth – Guyana
Why A Guyanese Food Magazine?
Guyana is on the cusp of becoming a tourist destination, food is an integral part of this industry, while we have many recipe books and restaurant guides in print or online, I prefer not to reinvent the wheel but to add another option to it.
Most, if almost all of the Caribbean Tourist destinations have a food and dining magazine, I thought Guyana should have one too.
