When in Puerto Rico, Eat Plantains
Growing up in Puerto Rico meant exposure to many, oh so many dishes where the main ingredient was the plantain (plátano in Spanish). You may look at a plantain and think it’s a green banana, and even though they may be closely related, I don’t recommend eating it raw.

Ohio is for Lovers... Food Lovers
It never fails that within some random sitcom or movie classic there some reference to an unimportant character from Ohio. Sometimes it is the friend or colleague of a character. Other times it is a recurring character. Some even go as specific as to call out cities, Cleveland has proven to be a crowd favorite.

How The InstantPot Brought Fried Rice Back To My Country
Step 1: Cook that rice Rinse the rice, put it in the InstantPot for about four minutes, and then let the steam naturally release for ten minutes. Then, you fluff the rice, take it out of the pot, and put it in a bowl for later.

Tsukudani
Tsukudani (pronounced “Skoo-Dan-Knee”) is still my favourite rite of passage with food, and the most interesting marker in my travels and choice of diversions. I was raised in a family with many challenges that were usually gastrointestinal (green bananas, fish heads and various unique tubers and vegetables were always on our plates), but there was nothing to compare with the challenge of tsukudani. It was a meal that my mother would not prepare; it was a dish she still has not forgiven me for enjoying.

Dominican Stewed Beans
I learned how to make this recipe when I moved to the Dominican Republic 11 years ago with my one and two-year-old daughters. It was my first time on a plane, and I was flying across an ocean. Looking down at the sea from forty thousand feet in the air was surreal, like living inside of a postcard. I’ll never forget the experience that sent shock waves down my comfort zone when I landed. I was bombarded with happy faces hoping to carry my bags for a tip. The taxi driver drove so fast to the hotel; you’d think we were the getaway car. Later that evening, I found myself dining at a beachfront restaurant. I ordered a dish called pollo guisado, with rice and beans on the side. The beans were so good; I remember thinking... who knew? Beans aren’t blah in this country. Oh no, they’re just as delicious as the meat.
