Manya is a wonderful ambassador for Armenia. We enjoyed our day cooking and the market as well. Definitely recommend.
Dear Arne, Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your day with Manya, from exploring the market to cooking together. She truly is a wonderful ambassador for Armenian culture and cuisine. We're so glad you had a memorable experience and appreciate your recommendation! Warm regards, Aashi Founder, Traveling Spoon
This was our first time using TravelingSpoon and based on our experience will not be the last! Manya and her lovely family welcomed us into their town, their home and dinner table. We felt comfortable and welcomed, got to learn some special dishes and get to know a lovely family. I can't recommend this 'experience' enough, although it felt more like making a new friend!
Having lunch with Manya in Yerevan was our second cooking experience with Travelling Spoon (first time was in Lebanon, 2 years ago) and probably the highlight of our one-week holiday in Armenia. We spent a lovely afternoon learning about the exciting Armenian cuisine, tasting various ingredients in an amazing popular and lively local market and of course cooking and eating the delicious meals Manya planned for us after I mentioned two of my favourite ingredients: lamb and aubergine. I wish I could have that meal at least once a week! It is obvious that she is very gifted as a chef and we wish her and her husband all the best with their plans of opening a restaurant. We’ll definitely be one of the first guests of their restaurant even if it’s not too close to our home. Apart from trying many other delicious dishes beside the lamb and aubergine stew and drinking Ararat brandy out of a peach, it felt like, despite meeting Manya for the first time, we were very good old friends. We look forward to meeting Manya again and try her delicious food. Highly recommended!
Overall I had a very enjoyable time with Manya. I particularly enjoyed the market our portion of the afternoon, and I was able to see a market which I'd have never found on my own. I really liked the explanations of Armenian cuisine and culture, and I would do it again!
