Discover the rich and diverse flavors of Azerbaijani cuisine with CÀSÀ’s exclusive Azerbaijan Cuisine Diploma Programme. Immerse yourself in a culinary journey that celebrates centuries of tradition, history, and culture, all deeply rooted in the heart of the Caucasus.
Azerbaijan, known as the "Land of Fire," boasts a culinary heritage as vibrant and diverse as its landscape. Influenced by the country’s strategic location along the Silk Road, Azerbaijani cuisine blends Middle Eastern, Eastern European, and Central Asian flavors, creating a unique and unforgettable gastronomic experience.
At CÀSÀ, our program delves into the essence of this cuisine, where every dish tells a story. From the fragrant saffron-infused rice dishes like plov to the hearty stews and kebabs, each recipe is a reflection of Azerbaijan’s rich cultural tapestry. Participants will learn not only the techniques behind these traditional dishes but also the history and cultural significance that makes Azerbaijani cuisine so special.
The Azerbaijani Cuisine Diploma Program is a comprehensive course tailored for individuals with beginner-level cooking skills who are eager to explore and master Azerbaijani culinary traditions. Spanning 36 sessions over 12 weeks, each lasting 3 ½ to 4 hours, the program delves deeply into the history, culture, ingredients, techniques, and dishes that define Azerbaijani cuisine. Students will gain hands-on experience preparing and tasting a wide range of traditional dishes under the expert guidance of seasoned instructors. The curriculum includes practical training in using both traditional cooking tools, such as “tandir” ovens and “saj” griddles, and modern kitchen appliances. Weekly topics cover Azerbaijani herbs and spices, soups, stews, rice dishes, main courses, and sweets, culminating in the creation of a modern Azerbaijani wedding menu. The program concludes with a final exam to assess students' knowledge and skills. Graduates will receive a diploma recognizing their proficiency in Azerbaijani cuisine, equipping them to pursue careers in culinary arts or simply enjoy sharing their newfound skills with others.
