Last copies of ‘Pomegranates and Saffron’ Cookbook                                
By Feride Buyuran on May 21, 2019                                        /   My Cookbook, News and Announcements
Photo: Receiving Best in the World Gourmand World Cookbook Award in Yantai in June, 2015.I have some news. I didn’t think this would come any time soon, but, I found out I only have about 200 copies of my cookbook, Pomegranates and Saffron: A Culinary Journey to Azerbaijan, left. In the world! The news is as rewarding as it is a bit sad, as once the book is completely sold out, its future will be unknown – as of now, no plans to re-print it, unless circumstances change and I do so. If you’d like a copy for yourself or your loved ones, THIS IS your chance! You can buy the book on the links below:AZCOOKBOOK.com (ships worldwide; books here available until May 29th).AMAZON.com (ships within US only).I thank you for your support of my work from the bottom of my heart. This may not be the end, but the beginning of something more beautiful. I believe it. Book #2, perhaps?

All photos by Greg Seber Pomegranates are one of the best parts of fall and winter months. Won’t you agree? Love the fruit! Recently, at a private cuisine and culture presentation and lunch event I did for a group of home economists in our house, I was aske
