Join an authentic Azerbaijani home cooking experience in a traditional family house in Baku. This is not a restaurant or commercial cooking class — it is a real local family experience in a private home with a beautiful backyard setting.
Guests will learn about Azerbaijani food culture and enjoy a homemade traditional meal prepared by the host family. Depending on the experience style, guests may also take part in simple hands-on cooking or observe the preparation process.
After the cooking experience, guests will sit together in the garden and enjoy the meal, tea, and local hospitality in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
