For if I do not burn
And if you do not burn
And if we do not burn
who else
is here to dispel the darkness…
Nazim Hikmet

Welcome to our website dedicated to the rich and flavorful world of Azerbaijani cuisine. Inspired by the poetic words of Nazim Hikmet, we invite you to explore and celebrate our culinary heritage.

Our mission is to share authentic Azerbaijani recipes that have been lovingly passed down through generations. These are not just recipes from a book, but treasured family traditions that have been preserved by word of mouth. Each dish you see here has been prepared by me and my friends, each bringing our unique touch to the cooking process.

This site is dedicated to the memory of my beloved grandmother, Muradalieva Shukufa Abdul-Manaf gizi (14.04.1917-13.09.2006). She passed on to me our rich cultural heritage and taught me the art of Azerbaijani cooking. Her recipes and advice continue to inspire everything we do here.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to my mother, my aunt, and my two sons for their unwavering support in bringing this project to life.

We are proud to present to you the first website dedicated to Azerbaijani cuisine. Enjoy your culinary journey with us!
