The cuisine of Azerbaijan is very tasty. Make sure to bring elastic pants because the probability to gain some weight is very high. We don't know about you, but we love Turkish food and could find a lot of similarities here and there. The love for tea and food connects these two countries for us. Everything feels fresh and the variety of dishes is very broad. It's great to visit places where the quality of food is appreciated. In the evening we could witness the arrival of fresh herbs at the local market just next to our accommodation, the smells in the air will stay in our memory.
