What kind of foods do you serve?

Chef Joy’s unique childhood culinary experience as well as her time in different commercial kitchens and bakeries have provided her the opportunity to bring a wide array of flavor profiles to your event. Today, Lempira Goods primarily focuses on bringing great local ingredients to Chef Joy’s dishes.

How did you come up with the name?

Lempira was a warrior, chieftain of the Lencas of western Honduras who helped lead a resistance against the Spaniards. Today Lempira is so respected in Honduras that the currency is named after him. The artwork in our logo also honors the Mayan heritage in Honduras, and the great civilization that we still see in Copan.
