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!

Please note, this is not a commercial cooking class, rather this experience is a visit into a Santo Domingo home to meet a local who is an expert cook, and share Dominican culture and cuisine together.
For groups of seven or more guests, the space may feel a bit tight as Rossy’s kitchen is small. To ensure a comfortable experience, guests will work in smaller groups and rotate.

5.00What a wonderful experience. Rossy is a charming host, sharing her home and kitchen. We hadn’t been brave enough to try Sancocho before, it’s delicious with rice and avocado. And yummy dessert. We learnt so much about local cuisine and culture. Easy to get to from Zona Colonial, we walked from our hotel.
A wonderful experience

5.00Grandma 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.
