Culinary Glossary

A bilingual culinary glossary with practical definitions for techniques, ingredients, service terms, sauces, pastry, and Caribbean dining.

Culinary Glossary is led by Aurora Despradel and designed around the guests, setting, and occasion.

Service can include a planning conversation, menu design, sourcing, preparation, table service, and kitchen reset.

The Hidden Table works with villas, residences, retreats, families, and intimate groups across the Dominican Republic, with careful attention to allergies, dietary needs, and pacing.
