Azerbaijan, the 'land of fire', is full of infinite beauty and
treasures; moreover it offers a wide variety of cultural attractions. As
part of the South Caucasus, the country lies between the Mountains and
Asia Minor and the Black and Caspian Seas. Just as diverse as the
landscape is Azerbaijani cuisine: hearty lamb dishes, sticky sweet
baklava, and the sheer never-ending world of oriental spices are just
asking to be cooked. The atmospheric images by the Cologne photographer
Barbara Lutterbeck, who captured the heart and soul of the country on
her travels, tempt the reader on a tour of discovery as much as her
enticing recipes do.
