In this episode of Tasty Trails Travel Pod, we're back with Chef Kester Robinson from Guyana for part two of our deep dive into Guyanese cuisine and culture! If you missed part one, definitely go back and give it a listen, where we covered an introduction to Guyana, its rich culinary landscape, and Kester's own journey as a chef.
In this continuation, Kester shares more about his passion for cooking that began when he was just 12 years old and how it evolved into a successful career, including his time studying abroad and working in fine dining. He opens up about his Kids Cooking Academy in Guyana, where he's inspiring the next generation of young chefs with hands-on training and mentorship. We talk about his favorite Guyanese dishes, like the ever-popular cook-up and festive pepper pot, and explore how various cultural influences shape the culinary traditions in Guyana.
Plus, we touch on the challenges of catering to vegetarian diets and the delicious fusion of flavors that make Guyanese Chinese food truly unique. Tune in to hear more about Kester’s commitment to food education, preserving Guyanese culinary traditions, and embracing the new cultural influences that continue to shape this vibrant nation.
