Guyanese cuisine
Guyanese cuisine is a fusion of Indigenous, African, Indian, Portuguese, Chinese, and European (primarily British) culinary traditions, reflecting the country’s multicultural heritage. This diverse blend results from centuries of migration and colonial history, yielding a rich repertoire of dishes, ingredients, and cooking techniques. Staples include one-pot meals, richly spiced stews, curries with roti, and a variety of fried breads and pastries, all enlivened by the use of local herbs and hot peppers.
