Summary

The Armenian Medical Union of France and Yan’s Club invite Corinne Zarzavatdjian on Friday 20 November 2026 at 20:30 in Paris (5 avenue Reille, 14th) to present La cuisine des Arméniens — recipes and diaspora stories worldwide, co-written with her brother Richard and published by Solar (preface by Pascal Ory). The book gathers some 70 recipes and contributions from more than thirty countries, with chefs including Anne-Sophie Pic, Ludovic Turac, Alain Alexanian, Ara Vanyan and Sedrak Mamulyan. Dinner booking is required. The dedication tour also continues in bookshops and fairs through late November.

Analysis

After the book’s release and an ongoing signing tour across Île-de-France and beyond, the UMAF–Yan’s Club evening roots the title in Paris’s associative network. For diaspora readers it is a concrete meeting: authors, culinary transmission stories and food, with a preface from the Académie française placing the book at the crossroads of history and cuisine.

Possible consequences

The 20 November evening and later signings will keep the book visible ahead of the holidays.
