We are excited to announce the launch of "Breaking Bread With Neighbours", a series of cook book reviews by Naneh Hovhannisyan. In this series, Naneh explores presentations of Armenian, Iranian, Georgian, Soviet and Levantine cuisine, investigating geo-political nuances through the development of culinary heritage. For five weeks, every Saturday from 19 of March, we'll be sharing a different blog by Naneh in a celebration of our theme of neighbours.
Naneh grew up as a closet gourmand in the latter days of Soviet Armenia. She prides herself on taste - also called ‘gustatory’ – memory, and on her ability to survive on rounds of strong coffee alone. Cooking is for her an act of resistance, creativity and indulgence. She lives in England with her family, and in the time left from selling books for a living, tries to read them for pleasure.
