🚨✨ WE’RE IN THE MAGAZINE! ✨🚨

We are beyond proud and grateful to share that Yiya’s Food and our family story are featured in XMagazineUS! 📰❤️🇩🇴

This feature is about much more than food. It is about family, sacrifice, love, resilience, and the legacy of our mother, Chef Ellie. 👩🏽‍🍳❤️

From the Dominican Republic to Wappingers Falls, NY, our mother planted the seeds of a dream through her love for cooking and her dedication to her children. Today, those seeds continue to grow through Yiya’s Food. 🥟✨

We are incredibly thankful to see our family’s story shared and to honor the woman who taught us that with love, discipline, faith, and determination, anything is possible.

This is her legacy.
This is our story.
And this is only the beginning. ❤️
