Overview

Due to its favorable geographical location, Azerbaijan has always been in the crossroads of cultures. This in return has always affected its local cuisine. At the same time, Azerbaijan has a diversity of climate zones that provide suitable lands to grow different types of fruits and vegetables in the country.  This cuisine is not only rich with delicious food variations, but also with sweets. Therefore, different parts of the country have its different food and dessert styles and tastes.  The main intention of this workshop is to deep dive into our culture and cuisine and provide you with an exquisite masterclass. Together with your chef Ali you will prepare three course dinner/lunch at a local apartment and enjoy your delicious preparations with home made “kompot” fruit drink. After, enjoy a few glasses of black Azerbaijani tea with the dessert you have prepared in this masterclass.
