Santo Domingo Hands-On Cooking Class and 5-Course Afro-Taíno Meal

About this activity

Cook alongside a local chef and enjoy a five-course lunch or dinner inspired by the African and Indigenous Taíno roots of Dominican cuisine.

This experience treats Dominican food as living history, not just something to prepare and eat. The stories shared during the activity are backed by documented research rather than presented as folklore or general cultural facts.

It also gives equal importance to the people and traditions that kept this culinary knowledge alive, especially the women who passed it from one generation to the next, often without writing it down.

The result is a different way to discover Dominican culture: through its ingredients, the stories carried by them and the meal everyone shares at the end.
