Georgian Cooking That Goes Beyond Khachapuri
Askili Orchard offers a new take on the suddenly everywhere cuisine.
On first glance, the various spreads, salads, breads, and stews on the menu at Askili Orchard might look similar to what’s available at many of the city’s other Georgian restaurants.
Upon closer inspection, there’s a surprising undercurrent through almost every item: fruit.
