Clara Gonzalez (Tia Clara)
Nomadic Liniera
Founder and editor of Dominican Cooking and Cocina Dominicana, Clara Gonzalez is Dominican - born and bred - and learned how to cook at the side of many Dominican home cooks.
Clara has been writing about Dominican cuisine and developing Dominican recipes for over 20 years for online and print publications. She has found it very useful to have lived in several regions of the Dominican Republic and currently resides in Punta Cana, D.R.
An Industrial Design graduate, later moving to International Logistics, Clara found her real career love in traveling around the country, asking people and writing about how they make and serve Dominican food, and tasting and photographing what Dominican cuisine has to offer. In her free time,
Clara is married and has a daughter.

Clara Gonzalez is co-author of the book Yo Cocino Latino (Grijalbo, 2021) and has authored three books on Dominican cooking (currently out of print): 100 Dominican Recipes, Traditional Dominican Cookery, and Aunt Clara's Dominican Recipes.
