Culinary Journey Through Guatemala: A Holiday Experience

Enjoy a vibrant, hands-on culinary demonstration and storytelling with multi-award-winning author and chef Amalia Moreno-Damgaard, a Guatemala native and graduate of Le Cordon Bleu and the Culinary Institute of America’s Culinary Enrichment and Innovation Program. Then savor unforgettable flavors of artisan small plates, delightful mocktails, and traditional beverages— each inspired by Amalia’s recent travels through the Mayan highlands and lowlands.
