🤍 🕊️It all started here.
Bottom right, the little grumpy one, is my mom: Bahija.
Next to her, my great-aunt Aljia and my little aunt Noura.
Three women from Mateur, a small town north of Tunis.
Three masters of traditional Tunisian cuisine.
It all began in their kitchens: the smells, the gestures, the secrets you never write down.
Today, every dish I cook here in Toronto carries a little of them.
And you, who taught you to cook?
