Azerbaijani cuisine blends Persian, Turkish, and Caucasian traditions into something uniquely its own. Saffron-rich pilafs (plov) are the centerpiece, served alongside fragrant kebabs and fresh herb platters. The tradition of tea drinking and the art of making kutab (stuffed flatbreads) reflect a culture that values both hospitality and craftsmanship.
