Dominican Recipes and Food

These are all traditional Dominican Recipes, from the Dominican repertoire. The Dominican diet is rich in fresh ingredients and simple food. Some of these dishes, however, are very sophisticated and require planning and preparation. We have tried to make the recipes as easy to understand as possible, and suggest substitutions whenever we know an ingredient might be particularly difficult to acquire outside the Dominican Republic.

You will find here authentic Dominican dishes and meals, just like Mami makes them, however, and as we constantly remind our visitors, they may differ from the ones that you have tried in your own home. Remember that each family has their own cooking style and secrets. If you are searching for, or want to share a non-Dominican recipe you may do so in our forums where we have an area for that.
