In my 40th year, I finally made pita bread.
The act of cooking and feeding family has always been my love language, and one that I’ve become fluent in
When Sita was growing up, she and her four sisters took care of household chores, while her five brothers worked in their father’s shoemaking shop. Sita was first placed in charge of laundry, then the bread baking, which she learned from her mother and grandmother. Money was tight; sometimes Sita foraged for dandelion greens in the backyard to make a salad. But there was always pita on the table. Kneading, patting, and pressing round after round, Sita helped nourish her family of little means.
Earlier this year I decided to embark on an adventure. I identified 40 recipes that I would make for the first time, and all before I turn 40. These were recipes I’d previously deemed too intimidating or time-consuming, including handmade pasta, saffron risotto, baklava, and Sita’s pita. So, four months before turning 40, I tied on Sita’s apron, recipe in hand, and got to work.In addition to her recipes and aprons, I’ve also realized that I’ve inherited Sita’s perfectionism.
