Dominican private chef in Valencia
Dominican home cooking is almost impossible to find in Valencia outside a Dominican household. A private Dominican chef changes that: real mangu, sancocho and tostones, either taught hands-on or fully catered for your dinner, birthday or gathering.
What Dominican home cooking actually tastes like
Three dishes every Dominican private chef we work with can teach or cook, the way it is made at home.
Mangu
Mashed green plantain finished with a splash of the cooking water and oil, traditionally served with pickled red onion, fried cheese and egg.
Sancocho
A hearty stew of multiple meats and root vegetables, the dish Dominican families cook for a crowd on a Sunday.
Tostones
Green plantain, smashed flat and fried twice until crisp outside and soft inside, salted and served as a side or a snack.
Classes vs catering
Every Dominican chef we work with offers both. Pick whichever fits your evening.
Cooking classes
Hands-on, at your rental or the chef's kitchen. You work through mangu, tostones or a smaller sancocho yourself, and eat everything you make.
- 2 to 3 hours, hands-on, at your rental or the chef's kitchen
- Small groups, usually 2 to 8 people
- You cook and eat what you make, chef guides every step
Home catering
The chef cooks a full Dominican spread in your kitchen for a dinner, birthday or gathering, sancocho and all, while you and your guests just sit down to eat.
- Chef cooks in your kitchen, you and your guests just eat
- Works for 4 to 20+ people depending on the menu
- Chef handles shopping, prep, cooking and clean-up
What it typically costs
Catering for a Dominican home-cooked meal typically runs EUR 40 to 70 per person depending on the menu and headcount. Hands-on classes usually start around EUR 60 per person.
These are rough estimates to help you plan, not a fixed price. The chef confirms an exact quote once you share your headcount, menu and date.
