Cooking with Tamada’s Table will bring the finest recipes, seasonal dishes and authentic tastes of Georgian cuisine to your table. You will cook and learn from a Georgian who understands the perspectives and tastes of the cuisine, while advising on how to source specialty spices.
Georgian cuisine is unique. Fresh herbs - cilantro, tarragon, mint, summer savory, celery - will move into your kitchen and brighten your life and table, providing enormous health benefits as well. Ground walnuts are used in many dishes, instead of oil, and you can even cook meat without adding any fat. There are lots of vegan dishes, including a range of cold vegetable dishes (pkhali) with walnuts, fresh herbs and exotic spices from the Silk Road.

I grew up eating this. My mom recently taught me how to cook it, and now I make it myself regularly. Much like Borsch, I think there is as many ways of making eggplant caviar as there are babushkas. Mine has zucchini in addition to what you have but all other ingredients pretty much the same.

This looks AMAZING! 😋
