An evening of getting to know unknown Georgian food and drink

From today's expeditions, we learn what crops the population grows, whether they have pets or birds, whether they cook dishes as described in the book, and whether they use traditional instruments, among other things. The purpose of these small expeditions is to collect video, audio, or photo material. It is desirable to find and preserve old, traditional kitchen equipment. Then, based on this material, the "Museum of Georgian Kitchen Culture" will be created, along with the development of a video blog and a 13-14 episode video series, as well as the preparation of a book titled "The centuries-old path of Georgian culinary art - a comparative analysis, 1935-2024." On January 18, in "Maspindzelo Express," you will have the opportunity to get acquainted with the ancient dishes described in Ivane Javakhishvili's book. Additionally, you can read stories about how the team tracked down various families, learned their history, and got acquainted with their current situation.++ Children under 11 are admitted without a ticket.

Description

Academician Ivane Javakhishvili's "Materials of the domestic industry of Georgia; for the history of craft; Volume III, Part II Food and Drink." In the book, information is provided about the knowledge, skills, crafts, and traditions of the early 20th century, the 19th century, and sometimes the 18th century.

Today, we have the opportunity to use Ivane Javakhishvili's conducted expedition based on its route and method to create a century-long interval for the first description of Georgian cuisine. Subsequently, based on a century of culinary culture, we will analyze the changes, enabling us to make a comparative analysis with a picture after 100 years.

This precisely serves Javakhishvili's culinary path. Three small expedition members visit specific families in regions and villages. Ivane Javakhishvili has his own book describing the culinary legacy of these families. The families reported in the book are investigated through similar expeditions, including traditional dishes and the current situation.
