Barbara Ghazarian is an experienced cook and a natural teacher with a
gift for storytelling. Barbara lectures from coast to coast on
Armenian-related topics to both Armenian and American audiences. She
authored a long-running weekly culinary column for a Los Angeles
newspaper and has years of experience teaching culinary writing to
adults in greater Boston. Experience the world of Armenian cooking and
sample some of Barbara’s quince preserves.

Simply Armenian draws on ancient culinary traditions to reveal the
secrets of the naturally healthy Armenian table. The book explores
over 150 recipes ranging from inexpensive fare to more elaborate
special occasion dishes. More than half the recipes are meat-free.

Barbara states: “Armenian food is easy to make, inexpensive, abundant
and good for you. Now, with the focus on olive oil based diets, eating
Armenian fits right into a low-carb regime.”
