Sonja Lillvik discusses and shares food from her cookbook memoir: The Painted
Fish and Other Mayan Feasts
Sonja Lillvik has lived 25 years as an expatriate on the
Yucatan peninsula with her Mayan fisherman husband, Armando Lopez. Together they opened the rustic tourist
destination known as Cuzan Guest House
in Punta Allen, Mexico. Cuzan’s restaurant features fresh seafood and other
Yucatec Maya meals.
Lillvik has written The
Painted Fish and Other Mayan Feasts, an edible memoir from the back roads
and beaches of the Yucatan a deliciously romantic Riviera Maya cookbook. Drawing on her intimate knowledge of
contemporary Maya cuisine, she translated authentic thousand-year-old recipes
as well as modern Maya fare for the ease and convenience of the
English-speaking cook. Throughout the
cookbook, Lillvik reveals culinary tips and “Maya Secretos” including the truly
burning issue of Chile Safety!
Tracing the lives of Sonja and Armando through recipes,
drawings and photos will give you a glimpse of the riches of the daily life of
these two adventures that pioneered eco-tourism in Punta Allen, Mexico. Cuzan Guest House, their home base for twenty
five years, attracts the intrepid traveler and lures saltwater fly-fishing
enthusiasts to this remote fishing village located in the world biosphere of
Sian Ka’an Reserve, a UNESCO Historic Heritage Site.
