Latvian Flavours: Second Edition is a heartfelt collection of cherished recipes, compiled by volunteers from the Latvian Association of South Australia as a tribute to the rich heritage of Latvian cuisine. With a deep respect for tradition, this book addresses the very real concern that beloved family recipes were at risk of being lost or forgotten. In response, the Latvian Association began sharing these recipes amongst its members, organising cooking classes to explore and preserve the history, culture, and stories behind each dish.
 
Now in its third edition, this cookbook remains a treasured part of the Latvian community in Adelaide, continuing to celebrate the flavours and traditions that connect generations.
 
The Second Edition focuses on the cuisine tied to cultural events from January to June, offering a glimpse into the foods enjoyed during significant occasions like Easter and the Midsummer celebration of Jāņi. Each recipe is carefully curated to reflect the seasonal ingredients, flavours, and customs that have been passed down through generations, from hearty meals to sweet treats.
 
This cookbook is not only a collection of recipes but also an exploration of Latvian culture and history, sharing stories of the people and events that shape the food traditions. Perfect for anyone looking to dive into Latvian culinary heritage, Latvian Flavours: Second Edition offers an authentic taste of Latvia, rich with memories and meaning.
