By Zoila Palma: On May 23, 2026, the Belize Food Heritage Project successfully concluded its Toledo District-level workshop marking another important step in safeguarding culinary traditions.
As part of a hands-on inventory practicum, participants gained valuable field experience by conducting real-time interviews, applying skills learned during training, and using audio-visual tools to document local food traditions and knowledge bearers.
The National Institute of Culture and History (NICH) noted that the practicum focused on two cherished dishes, Cohune Cabbage with Chicken Takari and Roast-Pork Caldo, both of which will be added to the National Inventory of Belize’s Intangible Cultural Heritage.
The session highlighted the vital role of community participation and celebrated the invaluable knowledge of elders, the leadership of women, and the active involvement of youth in preserving Belize’s living heritage for future generations.
The Institute for Social & Cultural Research continues to encourage Belizeans across the country to help document and safeguard our diverse foodways.
Gratitude was extended to all participants, UNESCO International Assistance, and the Ministry of Culture for their continued support of this important initiative.
