Coincidentally, this is the second Armenian cookbook to appear this
summer, joining only a handful of titles on the topic. Ghazarian’s
paternal grandparents emigrated from Turkish Armenia to Massachusetts,
and she visited them often. But her interest in the cuisine wasn’t
sparked until she married an Armenian man from Aleppo, Syria
(together, they started Mayreni Publishing, which specializes in
Armenian topics). The simple recipes presented here are mostly
classics, with a few of the author’s own creations. Victoria Wise’s
The Armenian Table features contemporary takes on many traditional
dishes and a variety of innovative recipes, but Ghazarian stays closer
to authentic Armenian home cooking, making it a good companion.
