Learn to make authentic, delicious, and easy Dominican and Latin-inspired meals with Vanessa Mota, creator of the popular food blog My Dominican Kitchen. In The Dominican Kitchen, Vanessa brings the heart and soul of the recipes that she grew up with in the Dominican Republic to your busy life. Created with easy-to-find ingredients and featuring comforting traditional flavors, Vanessa's recipes are designed for modern parents like her who don't have tons of time to spend perfecting a classic recipe, but who want to feed their families well every day. Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, Vanessa moved to New York City when she was 14, where she enjoyed exploring cuisines from around the world-but always maintained her passion for traditional Dominican food. Later, when she was married and expecting a baby, she found herself craving all the delicious homemade meals her mom and abuela (grandmother) made. She started her blog to share what she learned from recreating her favorite dishes, and The Dominican Kitchen expands this mission. Bring your family together with these and more flavorful recipes: Yuca Empanadas Chimichurri Burgers Braised Chicken Pork Stew Avocado Salad Sweet Potato Pudding Cheese Flan Papaya Shake Incorporate craveable yet simple-to-make Dominican dishes into your life without spending the whole day in the kitchen.
