Join your host Rossy and learn to cook 2-3 traditional Dominican dishes such as sancocho and platano frito (fried plantains) in her cozy kitchen. You can expect to cook for about 1-2 hours before enjoying the meal with Rossy at her dining table.
Rossy mixes up the menu so you can get anything from asopao (a rice-based soup), mangu (mashed plantains), arroz con pollo (one-pot chicken and rice), habichuelas (beans) and platano frito (fried plantains). End the meal with homemade dulce de leche or dulce de coco and coffee.
Rossy is passionate about nature, people, reading, photography, art, dance, and growing orchids. She loves being a host and teaching other people about Dominican culture and the country's cuisine. Since restaurants in the city rarely have Dominican food, Rossy loves to serve it to her guests to introduce them to the delicious local dishes!

This was a wonderful experience. If you are in Santo Domingo, and looking for a cultural and authentic experience then do not hesitate to book this. Rossi was very hospitable and welcoming and the food was delicious! I am excited to bring what i learned with Rossi home with me. An unforgettable experience! :)

Rossy was an absolute delight. She made sure we were safely picked up and escorted home and her meal was delicious. We felt like we truly had an authentic Dominican experience. Would highly recommend.

Grandma Rosie and her family were wonderful! They thought us so much about the culture and history of the Dominican Republic. They gave us tips and tricks to get around town and made us feel like family.
The dish was amazing. I can’t wait to try to make it at home. The rice and beans were so good. And the chicken was easy to make but tasted gourmet.
Bonus their daughter shoots archery, which we are in town for a world tournament.
