Clara Gonzalez is a food writer, culinary photographer, cookbook author, and founder of the food website Tia Clara's Dominican Cooking, where she has shared her love for Dominican food since 2001. In 2022, Clara founded Tia Clara®, where she shares Caribbean and Latino recipes.
For more than 20 years, hundreds of thousands of people have known me as “Tía Clara,” the face, camera, and voice behind Tia Clara’s Dominican Cooking, the award-nominated and award-winning bilingual food blog. I am also the co-author of the book Yo Cocino Latino (Grijalbo, 2021) and three books on Dominican cooking (currently out of print): 100 Traditional Dominican Recipes, Traditional Dominican Cookery, and Aunt Clara’s Dominican Cookbook.
