  1. 12 ARMENIA Take a bread!

  2. Lavash is traditional thin bread that forms an integral part of Armenian cuisine. Its preparation is typically undertaken by a small group of women, and requires great effort, coordination, experience and special skills.

  3. Lavash, the preparation, meaning and appearance of traditional bread as an expression of culture in Armenia, Inscribed in 2014 on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity

  4. Sevada Grigoryan (b.1959) Lavash The lavash puts Armenia, a small, ancient South Caucasus nation of 3 million, ahead of much of the pack with a total of four entries on the Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Other Armenian entries recognized by UNESCO include the reed wind instrument duduk, the performance of the medieval epic "David of Sassoon," and the art of stone cross making Sevada Grigoryan (b.1959) The Armenian Girl

  5. Romania also have four entries on the Intangible Cultural Heritage List: the Căluș tradition, Doina, The Horezu ceramics and The Christmas carols in masculine horde (shared with Moldova). Neither the U.S. nor Britain has a single item of intangible heritage to contribute so far, according to UNESCO

  6. Taverna restaurant offers its guests demonstrations of lavash baking A simple dough made of wheat flour and water is kneaded and formed into balls, which are then rolled into thin layers and stretched over a special oval cushion that is then slapped against the wall of a traditional conical clay oven. After thirty seconds to a minute, the baked bread is pulled from the oven wall

  7. Grigor Khanjyan (1926-2000) Baking of lavash The underground, clay Tonir is one of the first tools of Armenian cuisine, as an oven and as a thermal treatment tool. Everything that is made in pots and in tonirs has Armenian origin, but only Armenians had underground tonirs

  8. Ancient Armenians made tonirs in resemblance with the setting sun “going into the ground” (Sun being the main deity)
