Thank you for making this website. You have no idea!! For us Dominicans who live in the states you have saved our life - we will never forget our roots or our food! When we become grandparents we will continue our food culture through them no matter where we are or what state/ country we live in!! Plátano power foreverrrrr!!

Made this for the first time and it came out perfect! Obviously had it when I was little without the rum, but rum makes everything better!
