How one family started competing to make international food

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Celeste Amidon and her sister went from living their best lives as young professionals in New York City to moving back in with their parents in central Massachusetts. They felt like the world had failed them, and they were depressed - until they turned their time under one roof together into an extended cooking competition. They tried to one-up each other with dishes from Ethiopia, Bangladesh, Russia and beyond. But the biggest discovery was probably their father's; he made his Greek mother's spanakopita recipe for the first time. Amidon shared the experience at Stories From the Stage from GBH in Boston.
