Roasted pig's snouts and earsI know this will be literally “hard to swallow” for many! LOL! But staying true to the site theme (Traditional Dominican food) Believe me when I say that even though I myself have a bit of a hard time eating it, the taste is great! This is one of the most popular and favored street foods. In the street it is generally fried instead… |

Cheese balls!Today I share one of the “Doña Anadina’s” (my sous chef’s mother) golden recipes. She’s one of my most faithful and constant advisors in the kitchen. Doña Anadina is a master of the flour and dough and even knowing this, I should say that she outdid herself this time. The “little chefs” (and me, I cannot deny it) took good care… |

Coconut Shrimp with Spicy Mango SauceThis was a real treat. It reminded me of delicious passed appetizer I had at a wedding reception a few years ago. The spicy sauce (not too hot) combines wonderfully with the slightly sweet coconut shrimp. Could be served equally well as an appetizer or entree. |

Eco Panini!Today I share with you an “Eco sandwich”. I mean, who doesn’t love those roasted meats leftover sandwiches we make after the big meals of the 25th and 31st (Dominicans have 2 big dinner parties on those 2 days) I guess the same applies for Thanksgiving. Leftovers are such a “problem” that no one really minds having it. Those cold… |

Stuffed tomatoes - Artisan recipeToday I share a recipe that had been on my mind for a long time. The idea came to me after preparing some stuffed peppers. The truth is that just as stuffed peppers are fantastic for the sweet aftertaste, stuffed tomatoes have a deeply flavorful bittersweet aftertaste. |
