One of the hardest parts about relocating to Guatemala is giving up the traditional foods you enjoyed back home. The same can be said for Guatemalans who now live abroad… as well as many expats who,
for one reason or another, have to head back to their country of origin.
Craving Guatemalan goods, the sweet and delicious breads in particular, can be a problem, especially when there are no panaderias or a Guatemalan bakery in sight! Thankfully, it is a problem that has a solution: Antigua Flavors and Colors.
www.Antiguafc.com was is the brain child of a Guatemalan living in the United States, who was constantly craving sweet Guatemalan treats. Evelyn, the Pastry Chef on hand, brings delicious Guatemalan tortes, quesadillas, champurradas, besitos and more to life.
Evelyn brings to the table experience in the Guatemalan baked goods department, as well as many years working with a more European style, producing pastries, cookies, and bundt cakes, to name a few.
If all the edibles weren’t enough, the “colors” part of Antigua Flavors and Colors brings to the fore Guatemala’s vibrant crafts. Bags, change purses, jewelry and other handicrafts are all for sale at www.antiguafc.com. The best part is, this is also a way to support the Guatemalan economy from anywhere in the world, as Antigua Flavors and Colors partners directly with fair trade merchants.
I know that many Guatemalans living abroad appreciate having access to the same delicious breads they did back home, thanks to the vacuumed-packed bread deliveries from Antigua Flavors and Colors. I can only imagine how nice it is to know that no matter where I end up, I will have access to the delicious flavors Guatemala makes you fall in love with!
