Mark comes from M a big family, and cooking and eating with others is a core part of many warm memories for him. His wife, Anna, was diagnosed with celiac disease (an autoimmune disorder that means she can't eat gluten) at a young age, and she has always associated certain foods with illness and unhappiness.

Anna hates when Mark orders pizza for the family on movie night, and Mark gets embarrassed when Anna asks the waiter to list every ingredient in a meal.
