Pakhlava:

Not for events but for happy events, hospitable to the core of Azerbaijan.

Lavangi:

Lavangi is one of the oldest and boldest Azerbaijani dishes, prepared in a very peculiar way.

Azerbaijani Kebab:

Kebabs find a prominent place in Azerbaijani cuisine, in the form of Lyula Kebab, meaning skewers of minced meat, and the latter, Shashlik, literally translated as skewers of grilled meat. The meat, either lamb or beef, is marinated in a mixture of spices before grilling them to perfection, tender, and full of juices; these kebabs are simply great to render.
