See Belize through the eyes of chef and traveler Nyesha Arrington in episode 3 of our 4-part video series, sponsored by the Belize Tourism Board. Meet up with the women that are preserving Belize’s culinary traditions on this laid-back stretch of southeastern coast. Tour Marie Sharp’s famous hot sauce facility that’s been cranking out the heat for 30+ years, then learn about Garifuna cuisine at Palmento Grove, starting with the crack of a fresh coconut and ending with a rich fish curry.
If you need an escape, might we humbly suggest Belize? Located on the east coast of Central America, nestled against the Caribbean Sea, you’ll find the sparsely populated country—the only one without a coastline on the Pacific Ocean.
Today she leads a world-famous hot sauce production company which exports not just to the prime markets for Belizean products – the US and the UK, but also to places like Australia, Shanghai, Korea, Lebanon, Kuwait, Germany, Switzerland, Holland, Mexico, Canada, Guatemala, Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica and Taiwan. She is now pursuing buyers in France and Italy.
