Pita, is a round flatbreads baked from wheat flour and is common in the Mediterranean, Middle East, and neighboring areas. Food is spooned into the middle of the pita and then folded over to be eaten like a sandwich.

Famously, many pitas have a precut pocket for the contents. Sometimes, a pita is toasted and then cut into wedges to be used to scoop up various dips. Different seasonings may be sprinkled onto the wedges.

Pita can be used to scoop sauces or dips, such as hummus, or to wrap kebabs, gyros, or falafel in the manner of sandwiches. In the United States, pita pockets are stuffed with traditional American sandwich foods such as deli meat, chicken salad, egg salad, tuna salad or Caesar salad.

This cookbook contains a wide variety of delicious recipes to be eaten with pita.
