Culinary Blog One Every holiday when my family comes together, we make all of our favorite native foods from Brazil and deserts which are AMAZING. One of my personal favorite deserts that we only make when we come together as a family, is a creamy, sugary desert called pave (pa-vay). This desert is made with sugar cookies, a milky cream, and peach slices. We usually only eat this when we’re with our whole family because it’s a tradition we had back at home in Brazil. But we’re not just limited to the pave. We also have other deserts such as pudding cake and some of our favorite dinner meals such as traditional chicken pie. Our chicken pie is made of chicken, some soft, baked bread, vegetables, and some of our special broth and cheese. Ours is special and better tasting because it isn’t store bought and is made from traditions since my parents where little. I love going to family reunions and one of the major reasons is because of the food there. The food is by far my favorite because I love the taste and the combination of ingredients in each of the dishes. If the food wasn’t incorporated into our family reunions, then I probably wouldn’t look forward to them as much as I do now. Our food is definitely one of the major parts of our reunions because they have been going on for so long and each part of the family is responsible for bringing at least one part of the food. During eating time, we all share the pleasure of eating all the amazing food with each other and as a family. We usually do all this food related things during Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, and at all of our birthdays. I can’t wait until the next reunion so I can have more of my favorite food! After all, a family reunion isn’t a family reunion without our traditional food.
