Culinary discoveries between Asia & Europe

Question to Radio Yerevan: "Do you know Armenian cuisine?" Radio Yerevan answers: "In principle, yes, but I've never tried it." Cookbook author Zara would like to give a quick-witted answer to this question in her cooking course on Armenian cuisine. In this course, you can discover the multifaceted, millennia-old Armenian cuisine, which the German-Armenian gives a modern, predominantly vegetarian twist.

Menu:

• Minced meat with apricots and apples
• Green beans with egg served with yoghurt, garlic sauce and bulgur
• Fried zucchinis with dill
• Fried eggplants with pomegranate
• "Yerevan" salad with tomato, cucumber and herbs
• Gata - the Armenian round cake
• and as a nightcap: Armenian brandy
• (Subject to seasonal changes)
