Armenian Recipe Books

Sharing food is hugely important to Armenian culture and it’s a great time of the year as we celebrate Thanksgiving. We have a collection of recipe books in our Mesrob G. Boyajian Library dating back to 1907! Cookbooks published in the 1900’s consisted of simple recipes with locally sourced ingredients. Some books published later highlight plants and folklore associated with Armenian recipes. In this video, Gary-Lind Sinanian gives us a peek into recipe books that can suit any kind of appetite. A few of them are even available in our Gift Shop.
