Food In Books 
What a beautiful article, Vanessa. I loved reading about your family meal. I’m fairly certain that the only unleavened bread I’ve ever had is a tortilla, other than a biscuit made with baking powder rather than yeast.
I enjoyed reading the similarities between the foods. Thank you for sharing the history and your story. ❤️

As always, I am so appreciative of your feedback. Thank you so much and I’m really glad you’d like to the article. It’s funny because as I get older there, the rituals and traditions of my family’s cooking come to me more and more. Again thank you so much.

You’re very welcome, Vanessa. It is the same with me; I try very hard to carry on all the family recipes over the holidays. Hopefully my kids will do the same.
