ARTSAKH: A Taste of Home

By Nyree Abrahamian, Aline Kamakian, and Scout Tufankjian

Proceeds support AGBU Global Relief Fund for Artsakh Armenians 

Published by AGBU, this unique keepsake cookbook was inspired by world-renowned chef and restaurateur Aline Kamakian, whose work in Armenia in partnership with World Central Kitchen introduced her to the rich cultural and culinary heritage preserved by the indigenous Armenian women of Artsakh.

Weaving traditional Artsakh recipes with heartfelt accounts of resilience, survival, and cultural pride, writer Nyree Abrahamian and photojournalist Scout Tufankjian take readers on a journey into the kitchens of Artsakhtsi women, who generously shared their cherished recipes and stories through the simple act of sharing a meal. This book is dedicated to these keepers of the culture, despite their experience of forced displacement and loss of the bountiful land they call home. 

Whether you are an adventurous home cook or someone looking to connect with authentic Armenian culture, this book will enrich your understanding of a very special place and a people.  - AGBU Bookstore
