Balkan Caucasus Region

This is the Silk Road Recipes archive of recipes for cuisines located in the Balkan Peninsula and Caucasus Region.

For the Balkan Peninsula, this includes Albania, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Bulgaria (Armenia), Croatia, Kosovo, Moldova, Montenegro, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.

The Caucasus is a mountainous area nestled between the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea, consisting of southern Russia, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. This transitional region has a foothold in both Eastern Europe and Western Asia, but is generally viewed as part of modern Europe.

The recipes are approachable and the meals are delicious, family-friendly favorites!
