Georgia

A culinary journey through the country of Georgia told through essays, cultural commentary, breathtaking photography, and over 75 show-stopping recipes.Georgia is a transportive and mouthwatering journey into Georgian food with evocative photography shot on location. At the crossroads of Europe and Asia along the Silk Road, the Caucasus nation fascinates food lovers because it fuses flavors and techniques from East and West—while keeping an identity all its own. On a single table, you might find khinkali, or soup dumplings, served alongside a Mediterranean-esque tomato cucumber salad and clay-oven breads reminiscent of naan. Georgia features familiar favorites like khachapuri, kharcho, and tolmas, as well as lesser-known regional delights like kalia, a pomegranate chicken stew. No Georgian feast would be complete without desserts including gozinaki, caramelized honey walnut squares, and shakarlama, almond butter cookies scented with cardamom. Georgia is an invitation to explore the terrain and culinary traditions of a vibrant, deeply rooted culture.  On-location photography from Georgia — Breathtaking imagery photography that transports you to one of the world's most visually stunning and culinarily rich countriesYour passport to the next big food destination — Georgia is capturing the attention of chefs and food lovers worldwide, and this is the definitive guideWritten by a celebrated Tbilisi chef and an acclaimed travel writer — Authentic recipes and cultural storytelling from authors who have spent decades eating, studying and championing this cuisine
