This is what real Guatemalan cooking looks like 🇬🇹

We signed up for a cooking class in San Pedro. We didn't expect it to be one of the most meaningful things we've done in a year on Lake Atitlán. 🌋🍽️ Anita runs a small cooking school here — but she's also built something much bigger: a community of local women, vendors, and families all connected through food. We spent the morning at the market with her, learned to make traditional Guatemalan dishes from scratch, and left completely changed. Inside this video: 🛒 A guided tour of the San Pedro market with Anita — the vendors, the produce, the prices 🧵 Doña Maria — an 82-year-old weaver with a story you won't forget 🥑 Real avocado prices in Guatemala (we react accordingly) 🌽 Tortillas from scratch — we help, we struggle, we learn 🍤 The full appetizer spread: guacamole, shrimp salad, tropical fruits 🌄 Cooking with a view of Lake Atitlán that made us question all our life choices ❤️ The single mothers' cooperative Anita supports — why it matters and how you can help 🏔️ The final meal, laid out family-style on the balcony overlooking the lake This isn't a recipe tutorial. It's a real cooking experience with a local Guatemalan chef — and it's the kind of thing that needs to be shared. 🐾 We're Chris, Grace & Mango — a couple from Ohio building a slower life on Lake Atitlán, Guatemala.
