moving to the DR, any suggestions?

Question

I'm moving to the Dominican Republic in December to teach English in a local community and make a home/find a home for this 8 year old boy. The area I'm going to is very rural and i guess you could call it traditional (') I am wondering if any one has suggestions for books on Dominican culture and/or some cookbooks to teach me some of the basics. I know books can only bring you so far but i would at least like to have a litttttlleee preparation.
any ideas'
