I invited a Chinese friend over for dinner and she insists that I cook local Dominican food (not Asian which is my favourite). She grew up in Asia, so it’s understandable that wants to eat something different. Most of my friends like to eat a specific dish made of ripe plantains ( a type of … Continue reading
