Традиционната кухня в Разложкия регион е съхранила вкусът на вековете и достига до нас със специфични местни ястия, приготвяни за делници и празници. Тя носи типичните черти на планинските скотовъдни градчета, но в нея неизбежно е оставил отпечатък и християнският календар. Сезонността в храната и храненето е ясно изразена.
