Traditional Dominican cuisine with a charming grandmother in Santo Domingo

Rossy was wonderful! She and her niece cooked a delicious Dominican dinner with me and my daughter. She talked about the ingredients and her family and the whole evening at her lovely home was very nice.

It was amazing. I can not say enough. Perfect. Amazing cooking experience. Rossy showed us how to make an excellent traditional Dominican meal. It was a fantastic experience. The food was over the top great. Rossy made great conversation and helped to make it perfect.

We had delicious and authentic homemade food with Rossy at her home! This was a great and memorable experience for us. We learned how to make sancocho soup while talking about local life. We mostly spent time making sancocho, a Dominican soup with many ingredients, as well as rice and avocado. Rossy also had some cassava cakes, flan, coffee and drinks to accompany it. She also knows English very well and described all of the foods and tricks to make it correctly. We were welcome to help as much as we wanted to. I definitely recommend participating as much as possible to get the best experience and memory. Later, she sent the recipe for us to try at home. I hope to make the same dish here as well very soon. A car was arranged to pick us up to and from her place. Any questions we had were answered promptly on WhatsApp.

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.

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.

Rossy and her husband were the sweetest couple. Rossy greeted us with homemade hot chocolate from cacao beans from their farm. We then made sancocho, rice and a coconut dessert. one of the husband and boyfriend came and enjoyed visiting with Rossy husband while we cooked. It was a wonderful meal and only wished we had more time with them to learn more.Rossy did say that she would send us recipes, but it would be great to have the recipes pre printed so that we could take home with us as a souvenir. This is definitely one of the high lights of Santo Domingo

The cooking experience with Rossy, Emily and Nelson was the highlight of our trip to the Dominican Republic! We cooked delicious sancocho, we danced merengue and had a lot of fun with this warm and welcoming family. We will recommend Rossy's cooking experience to all of our friends!

Along with a wonderful evening of learning how to make Dominican classics, Rossy and Emily shared their fantastic base sauce that makes all the difference and their great knowledge of Dominican culinary history and culture. When they realized I already knew how to make one thing they'd planned, they made a last minute shift to introduce me to something new! Their generosity, kindness, and love of great food ensured a delightful evening.

We were looking for a truly local experience. Cooking with Rossy and her daughter was exactly that! They made us feel so welcome. They not only shared information about the dishes, but about their family. It felt like joining a new family rather than intruding or observing. The ideal context for learning about a new cuisine.We learned how to make a couple of delicious dishes in the exact way you want a vacation: A hands on experience balanced with a relaxed setting. You are invited to participate as you felt comfortable doing. Cooking is incredibly fun, but eating is even better. You experience a family meal, complete with laughter and a massive food coma. Just as we thought we couldn't eat another bite, they brought out dessert that was too tempting to refuse. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly unique and authentic experience!

A wonderful Experience. Rossy and her daughter cooked and prepared the most delicious meal, a true Dominican authentic fresh and tasty meal, followed by a lovely desert and cafecito, the conversation and fellowship was most enjoyable.I highly recommended this experience to those who visit Santo Domingo in the Dominican republic

This cooking class was exactly what we were looking for. The family welcomed us into their beautiful home and we learned about each other as we cooked authentic Dominican food. The family spoke English with us during the experience. We made a chicken dish, rice and beans and cooked plantains in many different ways including Tostones. We enjoyed a Dominican beer as we cooked and chatted and gained tips on how to cook the various dishes. Rossy and Emily, Rossy's daughter, were our main teachers in the kitchen and Nelson, Rossy's husband, chatted alongside. After we cooked we ate the grand feast together in their dining room. During our discussion we shared about our lives, both work and pleasure, and world politics. Emily made a delicious flan dessert as well! This was a great experience and also gay friendly!

Rossy and Emily were the best hosts! Very involved in the project, open and kind people. We had great time cooking with them, but also chatting, dancing and learning about domician culture :) It was amazing experience.

I think overall, the experience was quite good. Rossy and her daughter, Emily, were nice hosts to speak with about local culture. The sancocho was delicious and it was nice to find out that it is usually made on special occasions. Since it was my birthday, the family even brought out a candle and sang me happy birthday, and I was so touched. It was a great memory. I have 2 small suggestions. 1) Rossy was very nice and prepared and cut the ingredients in advance, which sped things up, but it would be nice that she let the visitors be a little more hands on. 2) We made one dish (we ate 2 since Rossy had made dessert), but because we were only making one thing, there was a lot of downtime in between, where we just went back to the dining room to talk. Perhaps, it may be good to add one more dish to the menu and to make that as well.
