The experience
You start inside a Dominican home kitchen with your instructor and a small group: no cooking experience needed. The class walks you through preparing several traditional dishes step by step: crispy twice-fried plantains with salami and cheese, pigeon pea rice, avocado, cod in creamy coconut sauce, and a rich coconut pudding cake. As you cook, you'll learn techniques that work in your own kitchen at home, since most ingredients are easy to find worldwide. Your host photographs candid moments so you have keepsakes from the day.
Drinks flow throughout the three hours. You'll make Dominican Moscow Mules (a tropical take on the classic using rum), and fresh jugo de chinola, served in a complimentary wine glass. The unlimited drinks pair with the dishes as they come off the pan: you taste the appetizers fresh, then move to the main course and dessert. Vegetarian versions of any dish are available on request, and the instructors can adapt drinks for anyone who doesn't drink alcohol.
When everything is ready, you sit together to enjoy the meal you've created. You leave with the digital recipe book, the Santo Domingo Food Guide, and the practical skills to recreate the dishes at home. The class carries a five-star money-back guarantee.
Is this one for you?Choose the shared group class if you want to meet other travelers and split the cost, or book the private class to cook with just your party and set your own pace through the menu. Both options include the same instructor, kitchen, and unlimited drinks.
