Hello, my name is Yasibel. I am from the Dominican Republic. I am from the province of San Cristobal and I brought from my country a food tradition called dulce de leche. It is very important for my family. Some of my relatives have stands selling dulce de leche and they make it themselves. Sometimes my relatives who come from the Dominican Republic to New York bring sweets from there. It is a very well-known sweet in my country and important in my family. I have aunts who always come in the summer and they bring a lot of sweets for everyone to eat as a family. This sweet represents my identity because it is important to my family.
