Greetings! My name is Margaret Simpson, and I proudly call West Coast Demerara my home. Situated on the picturesque Essequibo Islands-West Demerara, my roots run deep in the vibrant soil of Guyana. I cherish the beauty of our land, from the lush greenery along the Pomeroon River to the bustling markets filled with the aroma of our beloved dishes. Whether it's dhal puri lovingly paired with curry or the rich flavors of cook-up rice, I truly believe that our cuisine tells the story of our people—one filled with resilience, warmth, and a love for good food.
As a resident of this stunning country, I am deeply connected to our culture, which extends far beyond our borders. The Guyanese diaspora is a vital part of our identity, and I enjoy sharing our culinary traditions and local stories with those who have ventured abroad. I often find joy in the comments from fellow Guyanese, who remind us that while there may be critiques of our cuisine, there’s nothing quite like a hearty plate of rat stew or a simple meal shared among family. Our food is a reflection of our history and our heart, and I take pride in celebrating that heritage.
Join me in exploring the beauty of Guyana, from our rich cultural festivals to the serene landscapes that define our nation. Together, let’s keep the spirit of home alive, whether we are here in Essequibo or connecting with our loved ones around the world. Remember, no matter where we are, the flavors of Guyana are always just a taste away!
