TASTES OF ARMENIA

At the heart of all Armenian cooking lies the natural produce of Armenia which has given Armenians a richly varied cuisine, that in addition to help preserving its national heritage and identity , has skilfully assimilate foods of other culture that left their imprint on Armenian lands over the centuries. Conversely, as Armenians settled throughout the Middle East, large number of their recipes became part of the cuisine of other countries in the region. This short “taste of Armenia” is an attempt to introduce a representative collection of well known Armenian dishes and deserts to a new generation and people living locally.
The workshops will be lead by Mrs A Ohanian and Mrs C Koundarjian.
