Azerbaijani Cooking Class — Plov, Dolma & More
Learn to cook Azerbaijan's greatest dishes with a local chef in a traditional kitchen
About this class
Held in a traditional Baku kitchen, this 4-hour cooking class teaches you how to make four of Azerbaijan's most beloved dishes from scratch under the guidance of chef Aynur — who has been cooking for 30 years and runs cooking classes with all the warmth of inviting you into her own home (because it is!).
You'll cook: Shah plov (saffron rice in a bread crust), dolma (stuffed vine leaves), dovgha (yoghurt soup), and pakhlava (baklava). All ingredients provided. You eat everything you cook at the end. Recipe cards to take home.
Cooking-class booking checklist
Before booking, confirm the menu, class duration, hands-on tasks, group size, teaching language and whether the meal is included. State allergies, halal requirements and vegetarian preferences in advance; a dish can contain nuts, dairy or meat stock even when the main ingredient appears suitable. Home, restaurant and studio classes can have very different access and facilities.
Ask whether transport, market shopping, ingredients, drinks and a printed recipe are included. Children should be disclosed so the host can assess safe participation around heat and knives. Compare the wider food and drink experiences before requesting a dated place.
