Guyanese cuisine has many similarities to that of the rest of the Caribbean. The food is diverse and includes dishes such as curry, roti and cookup rice (a one-pot meal of rice with different kinds of vegetables accompanied by chicken or fish). The food reflects the ethnic makeup of the country and its colonial history, and includes African and creole, East Indian, Amerindian, Chinese and Europeans (mostly British and Portuguese) dishes.

One of the most popular meat dishes is the garlic pork, which is served with the traditional home made bread. The recipe includes boneless pork, crushed garlic, dried thyme, chili peppers, white vinegar and sugar. The wonton soup is made of wonton skins, meat like pork or chicken (in strips), bok choy, celery, carrot or pumpkin, black pepper, chicken stock, soy sauce and vetsin. There are many desserts that include banana, like banana bread, banana fritters, banana honey pie (with crusty pastry, cornstarch, evaporated milk, honey, sugar and salt) and the banana nut loaf (with margarine, sugar, eggs, chopped peanuts, flour and mashed banana).
