Tourists from US asked me about master class for Azerbaijani meals. I have organized them lunch where they can be take part for making meals. Before I asked the gastronomy authorities about the professional cooks and they advice me some restaurants with good national kitchen and the cooks. So I made good preparation and program for different restaurants and meals.
Finally I have met my guests and had some trips with them. When we were going to go to restaurant the lady, professor of one of American colleges declared for everyone that they want to eat only vegetarian meals. The restaurant cooks which wait us with their wide spectrum of meals little confused when have heard about this statement. Because main Azerbaijan meals are generally prepared with meat, butter or fat. But the cooks found kindly solution for them and made few vegetarian meals from Azerbaijan cuisine. They have made khangal (rolled dough cutting into pieces served with fried onion in butter, yogurt with garlic and finally added some little pomegranates), kuku (egg with greens), salad with greens and pomegranate, plov (boiled rice with chestnuts). Our guests loved all the dishes and the friendly behavior of the chefs. They finally surprised when waiter have brought the bill. The bill was very low. The guests couldn't believe that may be exist so low bill for so many meals in such good restaurant and they have decided to pay more than was billed.
The next day, we went to the Ilisu village of Gakh. There, too, much the same thing happened regarding the local meal "Sulhulu".
