Not at all! My consultations are designed for all skill levels - from complete beginners to experienced home cooks who want to expand their repertoire. I'll tailor every session to exactly where you are and where you want to go.

I focus primarily on authentic Dominican cuisine — classics like mangu, sancocho, pollo guisado, tostones, and arroz con leche. I also cover modern takes on traditional dishes and fusion recipes that honor Dominican flavors while fitting into a busy weeknight schedule.

Simply click the "Schedule a Free Consultation" button on this page. You'll fill out a short form about your goals and availability, and I'll personally follow up within 24–48 hours to confirm your session. Both in-person (NYC) and virtual options are available.

Yes! I offer private dinners, pop-up experiences, and corporate culinary events across the New York City area. Each event is fully customized — from menu planning to storytelling about Dominican food culture. Please use the Contact page to inquire about availability and pricing.

Many traditional Dominican recipes are naturally gluten-free and dairy-free. I also include notes on each recipe page for common substitutions — vegetarian, vegan, and low-sodium alternatives where applicable. If you have specific dietary needs, feel free to reach out and I'll point you to the right recipes.

All my recipes are free and available right here on this website under the Recipes section. For video tutorials, you can find me on YouTube and TikTok where I post new content regularly. Follow me on social media so you never miss a new dish!
