This was a far cry from the fancy, Michelin starred, award winning, celebrity chef restaurant I was expecting. It had a classy roadside diner feel; the kind of place that would take your jacket, ask you how you were doing and seat you at your preferred table while still serving breakfast, chicken wings and pizza. This was a wonderful world of contrasts and I was already very excited. . .

It turns out, all you need to create the most awesome chicken dish are a few fresh basil leaves, a couple of rosemary sprigs, some garlic, your choice of veggies and a large lemon. It is what you do with these ingredients that magically transforms this into a signature Jamie Oliver dish. Don’t google it yet. Go and try the real thing first; just so you know what it is supposed to taste like. . .

I was pleased to be offered a choice between whole grain and sourdough. Jamie is the poster boy for healthy eating in the UK so it had to be so. I opted for the whole grain option of course because it would help to ease my elevated guilt after consuming 300 grams of animal fat smothered onto a carbohydrate base. I did not expect it be as good as a normal pizza because let’s face it, who wants a whole wheat pizza, right? Me, that’s who. After this day, I am not sure if I want to go back to a normal pizza base. The whole wheat dough lent a unique, earthy flavour to the pizza while carrying half the calories of a sourdough base. . .

I don’t really do Michelin stars any more. It was a phase and it was good while it lasted but it is all over now. No celebrity chefs either, thank you very much. I am happiest when dining out on the streets or comparing one shawarma to the other. So, when asked to review Jamie Oliver’s Pizzeria, I wasn’t really sure why! . .

There is a pastry section with an elaborate selection of Baklavas (Turkish sweets) on one end and the walls are adorned with bright murals of a funky Turk in traditional garb; possibly to reach out to the millennials that throng the passageways outside the restaurant. . .

@zaza.uae has an extensive menu that covers every aspect of Turkish cuisine and there seem to be some Arabian influences as well. There is a bread and Pide (Turkish pie) oven on one end of the restaurant that I was quiet fascinated by. .

So I was at the Yas Mall for the soft opening of a brand-new Turkish restaurant called Zaza. Yes, it was a bit far away and it was probably not very bright of me to accept the invitation on a Thursday evening but I totally had to do it. This place looked really good in the pictures and I did not want to miss out! @zaza.uae . .

The Mud Volcanoes of Gobustan present a post apocalyptic scene from a Hollywood film. Situated just 70 kilometres south of Baku (or an hour’s drive) along the Caspian coast, Gobustan is all rock and oozing mud, scars and craters. . . The cold mud that oozes out of these hills is actually part earth, part methane gas. It is supposed to have lots of magical qualities like fixing skin problems and curing disease. (Which is why we brought loads of it back home with us!) . . . . . #qobustan #gobustan #mudvolcano #mudfacial #azerbaijani #azeribloggers #azerbaijanblogger #visitbaku #dubaitravel #eatsleepdubairepeat #postacopalyptic #naturalmud #mud #volcano #dubaitravelblogger #wanderer #travelingyuk #travelblogger #travelholic #traveguide #traveling

Pomegranates are the national fruit of Azerbaijan and FISINJAN is meat dish cooked in pomegranate molasses, walnuts, red onion, salt and sugar, and served with pilaf rice on the side. . The dish is then wrapped in lavash flatbread and tied from the top in such a way that it then resembles a pomegranate! . . . . . #lavashbread #lavash #pomegranate #pomegranatechicken #azerifoodbloggers #azerbaijanfood #l #lavashbread #plums #rice #pulao #pilav #pilavtarifleri #tavukpilav #travelforfood #travelfood #travelfoodies #foodietravel #foodietravels #silkroute #bakuaz #bakubloggers #eatsleeptravelrepeat #travelingfoodie #travelingfoodies

Sebzi Plov (spinach and lamb stew with rice) is an Azeri dish that is very similar to the Iranian ‘Gormeh Sebzi’. This shows how centuries of Iranian influence has affected the food and culture of Azerbaijan. . . . #flatlay #flatlaytoday #flatlaylove #flatlayfood #azerbaijan #azerbaijani #azerbaijanfood #azeri #azeribloggers #azeribloggersclub #azeritravelblogger #azerbaijanblogger #visitbaku #bakuaz #eatsleeptravelrepeat #dubaifoodblog #dubaifoodi #spinach #plov #gormehsabzi #pulao #ricedish #flatlaylover

Azerbaijan is a land that appreciates a good soup. There are all sorts of soups available - from meat broth soups to soups made from sour milk and greens. This Tomato Soup from Salam Baku in the old city was a game changer because it was hearty and filling yet light enough to keep us active for adventures in Baku. . @salambakurestoran . . . . #salambaku #soup #tomatosoup #tomatobasilsoup #redsoup #soupseason #soups #souptime #flatlay #flatlaytoday #flatlaylove #flatlayfood #azerbaijan #azerbaijani #azerbaijanfood #azeri #azeribloggers #azeribloggersclub #azeritravelblogger #azerbaijanblogger #visitbaku #bakuaz #eatsleeptravelrepeat #dubaifoodblog #dubaifoodie #tomato #tomatosauce #soupfordinner

Finally arrived at the luxurious Qafqaz Tufandag resort in Gabala. This 5 star hotel is located at the foot of the 17 km long ski slope and is the best place to set up camp if you are on a ski holiday. @qafqazhotels . . . . . #qafqaz #gabala #gabalasportclub #tufandag #ski #skiing🎿 #snow #traveling #travelgram #travelgrammer #travelgrammers #instatravel #instatravelling #travelblogger #travelbloggers #travelbloggerlife #mountains #mountainair #mountain #shahdag #azerbaijan #azerbaijanblogger #azeribloggers #greatoutdoors #eatsleeptravelrepeat #dubaitravelblogger #dubaitravel #abudhabitravel

This little wooden hut is actually a restaurant smack in the middle of the Gabala forest. We had griddle cooked kebabs while being surrounded by mighty oaks, lime and chestnut trees. The kebabs were nice too but I thought you guys would like this view better! . . . . . #wanderer #forest #foresttrail #shahdag #spring #pinetrees #wanderers #globewanderer #lessismoreoutdoors #worldtraveler #worldtravels #worldtravelpics #eatsleepdubairepeat #travelblogger #travelphotography #travelpictures #travelpicsdaily #lonelyplanet #travelpic #thattravelblog #naturephotography #naturelovers #nature_good #uaebloggers #uaetraveler #bakubloggers

Gabala is a small city with a population of 13000, located 220 km away from Baku on the border of Dagestan and Georgia.. . . . More than 200000 acres of the surrounding region is covered by forests and the ShahDag National park. . . . These areas are unbelievably peaceful and beautiful. I couldn’t stop taking pictures, as we stopped for lunch on the way to Gabala’s ski slopes. #autumnleaves #azerbaijanblogger . . . #autumn #autumn🍁 #wanderer #forest #foresttrail #shahdag #spring #pinetrees #wanderers #globewanderer #lessismoreoutdoors #worldtraveler #worldtravels #worldtravelpics #eatsleepdubairepeat #travelblogger #travelphotography #travelpictures #travelpicsdaily #lonelyplanet #travelpic #thattravelblog #naturephotography #naturelovers #nature_good #uaebloggers #uaetraveler #bakubloggers

Most of the restaurants in Baku’s city center serve traditional Turkish or Azeri cuisine with a couple of Arabic and Pakistani restaurants thrown in for good measure. If you are craving a continental menu, @centralbakuaz may be your best bet.

This oldest and largest mosque in Azerbaijan is the Shamakhi Dzhuma. It was built in the 8th century when Shamakhi was chosen as residence by the Arabian commander Maslam ibn Abd-al Melik. Arabs attached great importance to Shamakhi, which is visible from the great architectural appearance of this Mosque. . . . . #mosque #shamakhi #azerbaijan #azerbaijani #azerbaijan🇦🇿 #azerbaijan_art #oldmosque #grandmosque #religiousbuilding #religiousarchitecture #culturalarchitecture #travelphotography #travelgram #travelgrams #globaltravel #globaltrotter #eatsleeptravelrepeat #light #lightplay #carpet #historyfacts #history #culturetrip

Nizami is the main shopping street and also one of the most central locations of the city. It’s very pretty when all lit up at night and has everything from high end designer stores to cheap knock-offs and traditional handicrafts. With the seaside boulevard on one end and the cobblestoned alleys of Baku old town on the other, this is where your Baku adventure should begin. . . . . . #visitbaku #baku #travelblogger #travelphotography #historical #dubaiblogger #travelholic #travelgram #travelersnotebook #traveller #wanderlust #wander #wanderer #wanderlove #wanderlost #baku #bakufood #foodbaku #visitazerbaijan #azerbaijani #azerbaijan #azerifood #azerifoodbloggers #dubaiblog

One of the most revered dishes in Baku is the Shahi Plov or King Pilaf. The rice and lamb are encased in a round crust made with layers of crispy lavash, the thin tortilla style bread that usually accompanies the kebabs. When served, the cake is cut into four pieces so the rice inside is revealed to the guests in what is quite a spectacle. @centralbakuaz . . . #baku #bakufood #foodbaku #visitazerbaijan #azerbaijani #azerbaijan #azerifood #azerifoodbloggers #azerbaijanfood #lavash #lavashbread #plums #apricots #raisins #rice #pulao #pilav #pilavtarifleri #tavukpilav #travelforfood #travelfood #travelfoodies #foodietravel #foodietravels #silkroute #bakuaz #bakubloggers #eatsleeptravelrepeat #travelingfoodie #travelingfoodies
