Kaukasis: A Culinary Journey through Georgia, Azerbaijan & Beyond

I enjoy authentic cuisines from around the world, and this book appears to be a great compilation of delicious dishes from the Caucasus region (Georgia, Azerbaidjan and beyond). The book itself is good quality material, as well as beautiful photography with a sensibility for the local way of life, along with insightful and empathic travel journaling. I enjoy reading it, and so far I made the wonderful and simple khachapouri recipe. Which turned out great with the ingredients I had on hand.

Very interesting recipes from Eastern Europe!

This book is so beautiful I have bought it numerous times as gifts for my foodie friends. The photos are sensational and moving and the book is full of sincerity for the regions, appreciation of culture and shares an enthusiasm for excellent cuisine at the farmhouse table. I love this book and everything about it.

Olia's writing style is enjoyable. The recipes are interesting. I haven't made any, but I like to read cookbooks. This gives a personal view on the culture that really looks east rather than west in it's development. I'm surprised at the use of cilantro. I always related that to Mexican cuisine. It is used quite extensively in some recipes here. LOTS of herbs used in large quantities.

This is one of the best cookbooks for what is still I think an overlooked cuisine. I liked it well enough to go out and buy the Polish trranslation in paper form for my wife as a Christmas present, and we will enjoy not only trying some of the recipes at home, but also showing it to the owner of the local Georgian restaurant who is Georgian, and seeing if we can get him to make us off-menu some of the more challenging pieces in the book.The book takes you on a journey, and I don't think you can pay a cookbook a bigger compliment than that. It is nicely illustrated and contains plenty of background info about the rehgion and traditions related to the cuisine.

I loved this book. It made me want to move to the area just to eat the food. I loved the personal info on each recipe. I especially appreciated the substitutions and how to make and/or use similar ingredients in other countries. I can't wait to start cooking out of it.

An outstanding book with great stories, amazing pictures of Caucasus and detailed recipes. The author gives options for ingredients that might not be available in your country and also provides online sources to buy the necessary ingredients. The book is written with heart, and it will inspire you to go explore Caucasus. 100% recommend!

I am so pleased with this book. It is time Georgian and Azerbaijani food recipes are made available to the world. All of the recipes in this book are absolutely delicious. The book has plenty of beautiful color photos of each recipe and of the country of Georgia and Azerbaijan. If you have questions about any of the recipes, just type in on YouTube.
