Armenian Culinary Goodness

Even those who’ve never been to Yerevan have heard of pakhlava and khash. One of the most prominent features of Armenian cuisine is its tendency to rely on the quality and freshness of the produce, instead of an excess of spices to please the palette.

You have been warned.
