My grandmother is from Shusha.

I grew up on stories about Karabakh and the beauty of its nature. I always represented the beautiful Garabagh horses, Jydyrduzu. I missed a city I have never been to. I cried tears of happiness when I found out that I could go there. Perhaps it sounds strange for foreigners, but every Azerbaijani will understand what I mean.

Therefore, on the day of the liberation of Shusha we had a great holiday at home. I first cooked this sweet on this very day – 8th November 2020. This is our family recipe, which was passed on to us from my great-grandmother. I think that our cuisine is one of the most delicious in the world. And it is youth’s job to bring our heritage to the world.
