Luka Nachkebia
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.
Churros
Georgians love doughnuts and creamy buns in every shape and form. Mexicans have the similar dessert called Churros with its numerouss variations. My favorite churros are made of banana and pumpkin. Let’s make it with pumpkin this time, but keep in mind that it can be substituted with banana as well. As for the recipe, people call it "crunchy fluffy" with love – fair enough as Churros is fluffy and crunchy at the same time and you love it at the first bite.
Clay-baked chicken
There are loads of chicken meals in the Georgian kitchen, and all of them are delicious, but none of those are as distinctive as this recipe here. Imagine a dish combining lemon ethereal smell, herbal frost of a tarragon, milky aroma of a cream, taste of a roasted chicken and crystal essence of mushrooms. Clay-baked chicken and Chakapuli are absolute champions of the Georgian soups. I have to admit, this recipe has been inspired by French Fricassee, but trust me, none of that you can't find in Georgia or is not a part of the Georgian kitchen.
