Everything around us works through the laws of physics and chemistry and if you ask me - culinary is a science. I am a scientist, a food technologist and I try to create art work in the form of delicious food using organic chemistry, biochemistry and physics.Though, apart from science culinary involves a good deal of emotions. I try to evoke emotions, curiosity and revive memories stored deeply in our minds. That's what I share with my students at the Agrarian University Culinary Academy.

Bream with spinach
Georgia has lots of rivers, lakes, reservoirs, and at the same time a great sea coast line but still we don't have a coulture of cooking fish. After reading these phrases there must appear a person, whose family has a lot of recepies of making fish dishes, survived from the ancestors. I want to tell this person: - You are one in a million and, we mortals, do not respect fish enough. So, I decided to show my respect: today we'll cook the Black Sea Bream (the same Black Sea crucian carp), with tasty white flesh and a pleasant aroma.

Kupati
Chef-d'oeuvre of the Western Georgian Cuisine - Kupati is the most popular sausage in Georgia. Classic Kupati is made out of meat sub-products but seriously, why can’t we stuff it with high quality meat and cheese instead of entrails? Hereby, I'm offering you a modern version of Kupati with cheese. Beef for Kupati should be fatty, while pork must be lean. Also, pay attention to the pork fat. It must be of a distinct white color. If it comes with even faint yellowish hues, it means the pig is aged and it may give the sausage an unpleasant smell. Intestines will lose their unpleasant odor if you clean them under running water for about 4 or 5 minutes. Then turn it inside out and thoroughly rub with corn flour. When done, shake off the flour down with a blunt side of the knife and throw again for few more minutes under the running water. This procedure will make sure that the intestines have no gusty smell.
