I’ve rarely been served a Georgian dessert at any of my meals there so I decided not to include them in this book. The usual ending to a meal in Georgia is either fresh fruit and nuts, churchkhela or fruit leather. While a few confectioneries do exist at New Year – like gozinaki, nuts cooked in honey – I’ve preferred to focus on the much wider repertoire of savoury dishes.
