Authors John Lee, Ara Zada, and Kate Leahy will discuss their book Lavash: The bread that launched 1,000 meals, plus salads, stews, and other recipes from Armenia.
In the book Lavash, the author first show how to make this bread at home and then share the many dishes it enhances, from soups and stews to grilled meats, vegetables, and dessert. Alongside recipes are essays and photography that offer windows into the Armenia of the 21st century. At its core, Lavash is a celebration of breaking bread with friends and family which is an intrinsic value of this resilient, beautiful country.
