Tina met us at Desertiz Bazar in the morning, we had a 30min walk around the market and selected everything we needed. One of us did not eat meat, one ate everything, and one was a child - Tina attended to all of our needs, and we chose only the products that would meet our need, which is super cool. Then we drove to Tinas place, and started cooking. About 10 different meals, which was way more than enough :) Then our son got sleepy, so Tina aranged a bed for him to sleep in, and he slept there for more than an hour :) We finished eating around noon, and we really enjoyed the whole experience.

We first took a trip to the market, which is an experience in itself. You will cook and talk and learn a lot about culture and history, basically anything you would like to know about Georgia.
Be prepared to spend more time than planned (should you want to) 😊

We spent a lovely evening learning how a typical Georgian family lives.. Teo, a recent med school grad, welcomed us into her home where we met her mom and several younger brothers and sisters. We accompanied her to her local market where she selected cheese and vegetables/fruit for our dinner and appetizers. We also stopped to pick up some warm baked bread. We helped her assemble a lovely dinner after we feasted on her father’s homemade wine and honey along with several cheeses and bread. Then we helped her make salad, eggplant, chicken in tomato and vegetable sauce and cornmeal porridge (like polenta) and cornmeal and cheese fried balls. The best thing was talking with her and her mom about their culture and our culture and getting to know them on a personal basis.

Tina, (Teo's mom) was very welcoming and showed me around the different food markets explaining, in detail, what to look for in certain ingredients. At home, Tina, went above and beyond. She encouraged me to cook alongside her. I hope to come back soon.

What a fun morning I had with Nino and Lia. First we visited the market and they showed me the special 'spice'lady, 'cheese' lady, 'churchkhela' lady and many more stalls. Then we went home and cooked a nice lunch. Nina and her mother where very nice explaining me about Georgian cuisine and culture. I learned a lot. Thanks!

Nino and her mom were so friendly and lovely 😍😍 They were willing to cater to our vegetarian needs and taught us how to make delicious Georgian vegetarian food 🍲 😋 Nino even became our translator and helped us find my lost mobile phone. She was so kind and helpful. She was very eager to tell us about different Georgian cultures and cuisines. We can feel her passion for cooking and food. 😁😁 We love her and her mom💕💕 highly recommend them to everyone who wishes to have an amazing cooking experience in Georgia 🇬🇪!!!
