Why read it?

1 author picked Kaukasis as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Olia Hercules is one of my favourite food writers and a wonderful human being, something that shines through her books.

I could have picked any of her four cookbooks for this list, yet this book feels most like a journey to me. In it, she revisits Georgia and Azerbaijan, countries she had discovered during a childhood journey, and the two narratives are combined with other parts of the “mosaic” that paints a portrait of the region.

It is a heartfelt book with wonderful recipes and atmospheric photographs.

From Zuza's list on travelling through food.
