Impossible to miss the gofio when one is interested in the culture of the Canary Islands! When I moved to Tenerife to open my bed and breakfast Un Jardin al Mar, I discovered this simple and nourishing food, inherited from the aboriginal Guanches people and still very present in the local cuisine.

Canarian gastronomy is like its archipelago: authentic, mixed and deeply rooted in local resources. For a long time marked by simplicity, it combines products from the land, fish from the Atlantic, and African, Spanish, and Latin-American influences.
