What to expect

This is a unique opportunity to cook with a local and explore Dominican culture and cuisine. Sophia and her boyfriend welcome you into their farm close to Miches (50 min drive from Punta Cana city center), to share a fire cooked Dominican meal using fresh, seasonal ingredients. During your outdoor cooking class, learn to make two authentic Dominican dishes from scratch that make up the La Bandera Dominicana, a traditional platter that includes rice, meat and beans. Sophia shares her knowledge and skills while you have fun cooking, chatting and preparing a meal together. Your hands-on cooking class lasts about two hours and takes place outdoors, where you’ll cook over an open fire. Just like a family cooking together, everyone will have their own task and then you will put together a dish using Sophia’s expert guidance, tips and tricks. Learn to make an appetizer or dessert and a main dish together, before sitting down to share the meal you helped prepare at the outdoor dining table on the farm.
