Originally, I am from a beautiful capital of Azerbaijan, Baku. Our cuisine is delicious, however, many of our traditional dishes include meat.
My idea is to veganise some of Azerbaijani dishes and share those recipes with you guys, so you can get the feeling of how a plant-based Caucasian food tastes.
