Food is to be celebrated and if you taste Georgian food you would understand why! You would plan a return trip just because you will miss the food (and wine đ )! The Georgian food range has unique dishes including the Khinkali, khachapuri, ojakhuri and many more. Letâs face it, tasting local food is one of the highlights of travel. Pronouncing the dishes is another story altogether as some of the local dishes can be somewhat of a tongue twister! However a glass of wine will make that easier too!
To help our guests âtake homeâ a bit of the local taste with them, our super talented Beqa led a âChvishtari Masterclassâ. A delicious traditional corn bread flavoured with grated cheese is a staple food in the Georgian kitchen. Accompanied by a bottle of local Saperavi red wine and you have a cause for a celebration. And why not? Shouldnât every day be celebrated?
Chvishtari is a simple dish however a fair bit of preparation is required. Following the instructions of our master chefâ Beqa, the cheese was grated, the dough was prepared and the Chvishtari was lovingly formed. After teaching our guests the basics, seems like the artistic talents started to overflow! It took the traditional Chvishtari to another level altogether with a range of creative versions including heart shaped (our favourite as it reflects our love of Georgian food!). Well done to our talented guests! Every time weâll make heart shaped Chvishtari in future, weâll think of you! We hope youâll do the same too!
