Welcome to my corner of the world! My name is Verna Benjamin, and I’m a proud cook hailing from the vibrant West Coast Demerara, specifically 206 Block Y New Housing. My passion for cooking runs deep, influenced by the rich flavors and traditions of Guyanese cuisine. From the aromatic curry to the sweet delights of black cake and pepperpot, I strive to bring a taste of home to every dish I create. Whether it's a family gathering or a local celebration, food is at the heart of our culture, and I love sharing that warmth with others.
Living here in Essequibo Islands-West Demerara, I draw inspiration from my beautiful surroundings, including the serene rivers and lush landscapes that remind me of the sweet beauty of Berbice. I believe in the importance of community and the connections we forge, whether it be through savoring a plate of fried rice or enjoying the fresh catch from our rivers. My dream is to not only preserve our culinary heritage but also to introduce our flavors to the diaspora and beyond, making every meal a little piece of Guyana.
As someone who has seen the world while maintaining my roots, I embrace the spirit of Guyanese hospitality. Whether you’re from our beloved homeland or part of our wide-reaching diaspora, I look forward to sharing my culinary journey with you. Let's celebrate the joys of our culture together, because no matter where we are, there’s no place like home—God bless sweet home, Guyana!
