They have spoken or taught at the World Pastry Forum, Star Chefs International Chefs Congress, the International Association of Culinary Professionals, Women Chefs and Restaurateurs, Experimental Cuisine Collective, and the Flemish Primitives.

Georgian cuisine is finally being recognized for its variety, and the depth of flavors and techniques that characterize its unique culinary traditions. Given the country's location at the exact intersection of Europe and Asia, influences from both cultures have informed the dishes that the region is known for.

You’ll become acquainted with the new "it" cuisine as you prepare: adjaruli khachapuri (cheese bread); nigvziani badrijani (stuffed eggplant rolls); tabaka (chicken cooked "under a brick") with blackberry sauce; and chakapuli (braised lamb with tarragon sauce).
