Azerbaijanian cuisine is an interesting mixture of a few different food traditions, and that's easily explainable by the fact that it stands in the middle of their crossroad. Western Asia, Eastern Europe, The Middle East - every one of them has certain specifics when it comes to products, spices and food preparation methods. And Azeri cuisine? It has taken the best of all of them. Delicious food is something Azeris are proud of, and you can easily see that by the number and the quality of the traditional food restaurants in their capital.
