Cooking lessons?/Best ofs..

Haven't seen specifically Dominican cooking lessons on offer, especially not in English. Celebrity cooks like Eugenia Rojo run courses once in a while but these tend to be international cooking. Best advice would be to ask Dominican friends whether they or a family member would be prepared to give you a demonstration of, say, preparing a sancocho. Offer to buy ingredients and fr?as!

Good Dominican food can be found at Mes?n de Bari on Calle Hostos in the colonial zone. Nice surroundings too. There is a typical comedor called Mimosa which is said to be good, also in the Colonial Zone (on Arzobispo Nouel coming up to the intersection with Meri?o, very near the Cathedral). A really good option is Adrian Tropical with branches on the seafront Malec?n (near the intersection with Ave. M?ximo G?mez) and Ave. Lincoln (north of 27).
