I live in Seattle over the summer, and teach in the Dominican Republic over the school year. I have a restaurant out of my home that serves breakfast and dinner to the expatriates of Santo Dominigo every Sunday. The dishes I look for are meant to summon up nostalgia for the food my clientelle ate growing up, as well as that of their travels around the world. I prefer the rustic and traditional, but am always looking for ways to lighten them up so people can leave feeling good.
