As the first person in my Armenian family to be born in Los Angeles, I've always felt connected to two worlds.
Food was everything growing up. I come from a lineage of cooks, bakers, butchers, and people who show love through feeding others. I was raised on recipes made in big batches, shared around crowded tables, and tucked away in freezers for later.
The first recipe I ever learned to make was Borekita.
My parents each made it their own way. Somewhere along the way, I started combining the two and making it my own.
That same approach became the foundation of Wheat & Love.
The recipe behind Borekita is rooted in tradition and shaped by the way I grew up in Los Angeles: simple ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and food that feels as good as it tastes.
Wheat and Love is my way of sharing the recipes that have brought my family together for generations.
I hope Borekita finds a place at your table, too.
