Forget city restaurants and cooking schools. The essence of Azerbaijan thrives in its mountain villages, where goats meander along cobblestone paths, bread is baked in clay ovens, and hospitality is a cherished tradition. Journey 2.5 hours into the countryside — through hills and ancient forests — to villages untouched by time.
This experience welcomes you into a genuine local home where you can learn to cook traditional dishes from scratch. Your hosts will treat you like family: teaching, laughing, cooking, and dining together. You’ll prepare classics like dolma, plov, or qutab using recipes passed down through generations.
Then comes the highlight — sitting together at the table, sharing stories over tea, savoring food made with your own hands. No rush. No performance. Just genuine connection. Experience what it’s like to be part of an Azerbaijani family, even if just for an afternoon.
Ideal for food enthusiasts, culture seekers, and anyone weary of tourist traps. This is an experience you’ll cherish for years.
