Coming Soon – 'The Vegan Armenian Kitchen Cookbook' – and - a chance to win your very own copy!

My first introduction to Lena (Tachdjian) Tashjian was back in December of 2013 via an article that appeared in The Armenian Weekly.

At that time, Lena shared with The Armenian Kitchen a recipe for Basoots Dolma (spelling varies!) – a truly vegan dish. We’ve kept in touch over the years, and now I’m thrilled to introduce to you, Lena's brand-new, soon-to-be-released, 'The Vegan Armenian Kitchen Cookbook' – and just in time for Lent, too!

Lena's 'The Vegan Armenian Kitchen Cookbook'

Lena explained to me how the Cookbook project began:

'The Vegan Armenian Kitchen Cookbook' is a collaborative project between Lena, the author, and Siroon Parseghian, a photographer and creative director she met in Armenia eight years ago.

The cookbook focuses on both local and Diasporan Armenian cuisine, and shares stories behind the dishes, and traditions surrounding them. It also includes some food idioms, holiday planning, and menu pairing suggestions.

The book will be released this month, January, 2020, just in time for Lent, and can be ordered on this website, where recipes, videos, and more will be shared. While the majority of recipes found in the cookbook are naturally plant-based or Lenten, Lena has veganized a few classics, including khash!
