Oda a la Yuca<br />

Mi plato es una exaltación al producto que representa uno de los legados<br />

más antiguos e importantes de nuestros ancestros taínos, la yuca.<br />

Con más de 800 años de presencia en la isla, este producto ha tenido<br />

una colosal importancia a nivel histórico, místico y gastronómico en<br />

nuestro pueblo y su culinaria, por lo cual merece que lo coloquemos en<br />

un lugar muy especial en la mesa dominicana. Para darle realce a ese<br />

singular plato trabajé el producto en siete texturas diferentes, a fin de<br />

mostrar su gran versatilidad y riqueza.<br />

Ode to Cassava<br />

My dish renders tribute to cassava, that one product which proudly represents<br />

one of the most longstanding and important legacies inherited<br />

from our Taíno ancestors. Present in our island for over 8 centuries this<br />

product has gained colossal importance, from a historical, mystical and<br />

gastronomic perspective, in our People and its culinary traditions, thus<br />

deserving its special place in the Dominican table. To give it its welldeserved<br />

grandeur, I elaborated this dish in seven different textures, to<br />

show its plentiful versatility and richness.<br />
