The Armenian Cookbook Paperback – June 25, 2014

I have my mother’s copy of this book (from the 1970s) and really enjoyed using it. I was sad to learn that it was out of print for many years, but purchased a copy for my daughter as soon as I learned the author’s daughter (and illustrator) arranged for it to be printed once again. It’s a small, conveniently-sized paperback with easy to understand instructions and charming line drawings. I encourage everyone who enjoys Armenian cuisine to buy a copy!

This was a gift for my mother, who is a fabulous cook. Both she and my father loved the recipes and the historical anecdotes. Reading this book is like sitting in the kitchen with your grandmother when you were a kid and learning how to cook "real" Armenian food by sight and feel while hearing about life in the old country. A great introduction to classical Armenian dishes, with a little history thrown in. Not fancy, but authentic and good! Highly recommend this to novice and seasoned cooks alike.

Excellent write-up with all of the traditional recipes. Will be very helpful to recreate dishes going forward. Thank you for a wonderful resource!

You know I bought this book so that I can make the things my mom use to make. On some of the recipes needed to be adjusted for taste preference.

These recipes duplicate what I am used to eating with authentic preparation and easy to follow recipes, even for complicated recipes.

This book was originally written by my grandmothers cousin and has been brought back by her daughter. It is our old recipes from Intep Turkey before the genocide. They were a very large family and the recipes were handed down from many generations. Easy simple directions and a favorite for all.

I bought this book for my girlfriend and she absolutely loved it. The book is full of recipes of all sorts (appetizers, entrees, desserts, etc.) that are easy to follow. It is also full of charming drawings throughout. If you love Armenian food and can get your hands on this book, do so!

My husband is Armenian and his mother had this cookbook growing up. A great find. Authentic Armenian recipes
