October 15, 2018.\u00a0 New York City, New York –\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cDominican cuisine has become a force for bringing together the Dominican community in New York.\u201d This statement was affirmed by the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development (GFDD) New York Director Yamile Eusebio during the opening presentation of the workshop \u201cFood Writing for Foodies,\u201d which took place on Friday, October 12 at the 809 restaurant in New York City.<\/p>\n

The workshop was led by Elaine Hern\u00e1ndez, food blogger and expert in food journalism and communication and was part of the first Dominican Gastro Tour 2018. The Tour included many activities organized by DominicanaOnLine.org which all sought to highlight the qualities of Dominican cuisine among the Dominican Diaspora in New York.<\/p>\n

\u201cEscritura gastron\u00f3mica para Foodies\u201d (Food Writing for Foodies) had the main goal of showcasing writing tools and communication strategies for business people working in gastronomy and restaurants, as well as cooks and community managers who attended the workshop at 809, a restaurant specialized in top-notch Dominican cooking.<\/p>\n

809 was involved in the workshop by providing various dishes prepared with recipes that highlight Dominican cooking. The three tapas<\/em> were croquetas de<\/em> moro de guandules<\/em> (rice and bean croquettes) filled with crab (in homage to the Saman\u00e1 province); taquitos de yaniqueque<\/em> (a fried bread) filled with shrimp and slices of mango and bollitos de pl\u00e1tano maduro<\/em> (little ripe plantain balls) filled with chicken and accompanied by avocado mayonnaise and chipotle.<\/p>\n

During the workshop the participants created descriptions and short stories inspired by the snacks. The stories used narrative resources to describe the organoleptic characteristics, the ingredients and feelings that the dishes produce.<\/p>\n

\u201cGastronomy builds identity and those who utilize it to create content must strategically use digital communication as a tool for sharing Dominican cuisine. This is done with aesthetically-pleasing publications that use a descriptive text and language that stimulates the senses and connects emotions,\u201d said Hern\u00e1ndez.<\/p>\n

The workshop took place as part of Hispanic Heritage Month in the United States thanks to DominicanaOnLine.org, an initiative of the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development that promotes Dominican culture.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
