GEORGIA, A culinary declaration of love / STV

Favorite recipes, anecdotes and memories of internationally known Georgian artists and "celebrities," as well as prominent visitors to Georgia such as Anna Akhmatova and John Steinbeck, combined with exceptional photographs, make up this unusual cookbook.

It contains numerous traditional Georgian recipes, such as for the popular cheese pizza Hachapuri, the plum sauce Tkemali, or Saziwi (chicken in cold walnut sauce). But the often literary texts are about the love of Georgian cuisine, memories of childhood delights (such as the spectacular "Gogli-Mogli") and the special magic of a Georgian supra - the traditional festive table.

Philologist Maia Panjikidze, former Foreign Minister of Georgia, has translated this declaration of love for Georgian cuisine into German.
