ANTIGUA GUATEMALA, GUATEMALA – We’re in the historical city of Antigua Guatemala in Guatemala, Central America, and today we’re meeting up with Rebecca to cook and eat a dish called Kak’ik – one of the best Mayan Guatemalan foods!
Actually just outside of Antigua, we drove out to Santa Ana, Guatemala and specifically to Maya-iz where they are aiming to preserve their Mayan traditions and culture through food. We met up with Rebecca d Leon from Kukul Tales who shares a passion for food and culture.
We immediately got started cooking the Kak’ik, using a whole live turkey, then roasted tomatoes, onions, cilantro and a variety of chilies, Everyone was roasted and toasted, then ground into a puree and combined in a huge ceramic pot with the turkey. The flavors started to brew and blend, and they kept adding more herbs and culantro to the soup to make it well balanced, herbaceous and healthy.
I loved seeing the entire cooking process. Along with the kak’ik, they also made some of the best tamales I’ve ever had – they were so juicy and moist with the right amount of meat filling and olives on the inside. We also tried some sour dried fruit juice called chicha and a dish that included a variety of tripe stewed down until ultra tender.
But the ancient Mayan recipe for turkey soup kak’ik was the highlight, a truly well rounded blend of seasoning with nothing overpowering the flavor of the turkey. It was delicious!

I like all you do, can i join your team please ?
Creo que a ese Kak’ik le faltó tiempo de cocción para suavizar más el pavo y reducir líquidos, en cualquier caso así me lo trago.
Mark, I would've hugged and kissed those ladies cooking and let's not forget the star of the show the turkey lol… definitely wanna visit Guatemala thank you
I hated watching the turkey get cut. I wish the world treated animals with love
altyazı getirmediğin sürece izlememe kararı aldım …yıllardır takipçinim senden sonra insanlar tercüme konusunda aya ulaştı …abonelikten çıkıyorum ..sevgiyle
Thank you Mark for visiting my motherland.. I love watching you eat and teaching us different cultural dishes. You will make it soon for a Netflix food travel documentary 🙏🏼

Poor turkey
Hi! I’ve been following your channel for years and usually look for tips whenever I go abroad. Seeing the series of videos of Guatemala, my country, makes me so nostalgic and proud! My family and I just left for Europe and would have love showing you around too. The way you reflect what you live, with respect, openness, and joy make your documentaries top class. Beautifully made. Truly enjoying and sharing this series! All the best!
Πολύ σκληρό να βλέπεις ζωντανό ένα ζώο,και μετά να βλέπεις την διαδικασία να το σκοτώνουν! Όχι όχι όχι!😢
Guatemalan cooking ingredients and utensils are so so so similar to Indian cooking culture!! The type of cilantro and the grind stone!!!
Its so nice and incredible ❤
you just got one piece
😂😂😂
drifting by……
Never let the peppers burn! Because the food gets a bitter flavor
Mark you a so well travelled. You recognize all the similarities with ingredients from all over the world…you are right that is shadow benni…or coolantro….they don’t even know that just to the east Trinidadians love shadow benni
Can your editing team tone down on the sound effects and wide graphic inserts? It's distracting
you are lucky guy to test the world food and sharing to us keep going I love it❤
RIP turkey
I can finally rest in peace knowing he finally visited Guatemala! Always waiting for this day !
Guate and Salvadorean masa rules! Now it's serving as fufu. Excellent!
He says the same thing everywhere he goes he describes the food the same way everywhere he goes. Just sounds repetitious, should be unique comments for such unique dishes

+ vinegariness
Did you just eat banana leaf?
Que buen video desde nuestra hermana República de Guatemala. Soy de Honduras, y me encantaría que algún día visitaras mi país.
Saludos, Mark. Me encantan tus vídeos.
Wow, that that was excellent, Mark. Rebecca is a fantastic guide……….I have a sneaking suspicion that the turkey knew that it was invited to dinner, but not in a good way.
I have been following your videos for YEARS, see you finally in my hometown really made my day.
Wow…wow…wow..!
Delicious food…..
لازم ترجم للعربيه عشان نفهم شو بتحكي❤
⚠️SAFETY TIP!! Before watching this guy’s videos always first grab snacks, have belly full or else you’ll patronize yourself 😂😂
