Learn to Cook Traditional Family Recipes from different Regions of Georgia

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Mzia lives in a spacious, family home in a residential district, in central Tbilisi. She lived in Moscow for a while and now the family is back home in Tbilisi. Mzia's daughter, Nanuka, is an immigration attorney who loves international travel and her husband, Thomas, is a winemaker, ensuring the tradition is carried on in the family. They will join the experience, whenever they're available.

Join Mzia in the kitchen to learn family recipes and cook dishes from different regions of Georgia. Learn to make 3 dishes from scratch in your 2-hour hands-on cooking class. Learn to make nigvziani badrijani (fried eggplant filled with a walnut paste), lobio (slow-cooked beans) and mchadi (cornbread) or khachapuri (cheese-filled bread). Later sit down with the family at the dining table to share the dishes you helped prepare. Which will be served along with condiments, such as ajika (a spicy red pepper sauce), satsivi (a walnut sauce), tkemali (a plum sauce) and pickled peppers. End your meal with pelamushi, a dessert made with grape juice and corn flour, topped with walnuts.

Enjoy a private and authentic cooking class in a local home with host Mzia and her 2 children, Nanuka or Giorgi. While Mzia does all the cooking, Nanuka and Giorgi will translate. This is a perfect experience for anyone looking to connect with local culture over food. Your cooking class will take place in a local home kitchen where Mzia will teach you how to make 2-3 traditional Georgian dishes from their family recipes. After cooking, you will enjoy your meal together in your host's home.
