FROM MY HEART TO YOUR SHELF
What began as a tribute to my grandparents and a way to honor Dominican gastronomy and traditions has grown into a story that brings food, culture, and family to life through vibrant storytelling and delicious recipes.
I hope you find warmth and friendship in the story of Dalia and Mamá Carmen. More than anything, I hope their journey inspires you to cook something from its pages and maybe even share it with someone you love.
Dalia’s Family Kitchen: A celebration of Dominican culture and tradition is now available worldwide in both English and Spanish, and in paperback, hardcover, and ebook formats, so families everywhere can enjoy it in the way that suits them best.
