Who is this experience for?
Azerbaijani cuisine is far more than pilaf. It is a rich world of aromatic spices, slow-cooked meat dishes, fresh vegetables, herbal soups, crispy pastries and legendary sweets. This master class is perfect for food lovers, vegetarians, meat fans and sweet-tooths alike — for everyone who wants to understand Azerbaijan through its food.

What Awaits You
From market to table — the full journey
You will explore Azerbaijani cuisine from start to finish: visit a traditional local bazaar, select the best seasonal products and spices, cook side by side with an experienced Azerbaijani chef, and finally enjoy a generous national feast prepared by your own hands.

Azerbaijani Bazaar Experience
A real Eastern bazaar is a show in itself.

Friendly vendors, lively bargaining, aromas of spices, fresh herbs, fruits, cheeses and pomegranate juice. You will taste, negotiate, learn how locals choose ingredients and leave with authentic culinary treasures.

Cuisine & Traditions
Food in Azerbaijan is culture. You will learn how the table is set, who takes the place of honor, why hospitality is sacred and how national traditions are reflected in everyday meals.

Cooking with a Local Chef
In a cozy home atmosphere, under the guidance of a professional Azerbaijani chef, you will cook two dishes of your choice, such as:
Dolma (grape leaves or vegetables)
Azerbaijani pilaf (herb pilaf, sour pilaf or royal shah-plov)
Traditional soups (dovga, kufta-bozbash, parcha-bozbash)
The chef shares family secrets, techniques and stories — engaging even for those who rarely cook.

A True Baku Feast
When everything is ready, you sit down to a traditional table with fresh tandoor bread, herbs, vegetables and — if you wish — local wine chosen at the market.

Well-Organized & Authentic
Transfer, ingredients, chef services, market visit and photo memories are all arranged for you. You just enjoy the flavors, culture and unforgettable atmosphere of Azerbaijani hospitality.
