Georgia : The Cookbook - Benjamin Kemper

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
