I would have to agree with an earlier poster - Dominican men in Canada seem to prefer to do the cooking simply as a means to survival. My boyfriend is not a fan of very many things that I cook, despite the fact that I am a decent cook. He just likes his plantains, rice, beans and ALWAYS wants "sauce". He used to say he hates cooking and only does it because he HAS to because he doesn't like "gringo" food, but lately he's admitted that he enjoys his time in the kitchen and likes to be creative. I have learned how to cook lots of the things that he prefers, including tostones (my fave) and now we spend quality time in the kitchen cooking together.
