Soups

Kharcho

A rich Georgian beef soup from Mingrelia, spicy and sour. Fatty beef simmers long with rice and ground walnuts, and the signature sour note comes from tkemali (sour plum sauce) rather than tomato. Garlic and fresh cilantro are stirred in at the end.

Lavangi (Azerbaijani Walnut-Stuffed Fish)

Lavangi is an Azerbaijani fish stuffed with a paste of walnuts, onion, and sour plums with narsharab. The grated onion must be squeezed dry, or the filling turns watery. The fish is stuffed, sewn shut, rubbed with narsharab, and baked until the skin is dark and glossy. It's a festive Talysh and Lankaran dish, a classic of the Novruz table.

Baklava (Azerbaijani Pakhlava)

Azerbaijani pakhlava is a layered walnut pastry cut into diamonds and soaked in honey — the centerpiece of the Novruz spring table alongside shekerbura and gogal. Unlike Greek-style baklava made with paper-thin phyllo, the Baku version uses a soft yeast dough layered with walnut-cardamom filling. Each diamond is topped with an egg yolk and saffron glaze and a whole walnut half, and warm honey is poured over after baking.

Ají de Gallina (Peruvian Creamy Chicken)

Ají de gallina is one of Peru's most cherished comfort dishes — shredded poached chicken folded into a velvety golden sauce built on ají amarillo, the fruity yellow chili at the heart of Peruvian cooking. Milk-soaked bread and ground walnuts thicken it, while parmesan adds a salty, umami edge. Mildly spicy and rich, it's spooned over rice with boiled yellow potatoes, olives, and hard-boiled egg — a fusion of Spanish and Andean roots.

Satsivi (Georgian Chicken in Walnut Sauce)

Satsivi takes its name from the Georgian word for cold, and that's how it's meant to be eaten — poached poultry buried in a thick, pale walnut sauce that sets as it chills. Ground walnuts, softened onion, and garlic are loosened with the poaching broth and spiced with blue fenugreek, marigold saffron, coriander, and clove. It's a fixture of the Georgian New Year table, made a day ahead so the flavours settle and the sauce thickens.

Zucchini Bread

Zucchini bread is what American home bakers do with a summer glut: grated squash folded into a cinnamon-spiced batter, baked into a dense, damp loaf that tastes of nothing in particular but keeps the crumb tender for days. The zucchini brings no flavour of its own — it brings water, which is the whole point. Sliced thick and eaten with butter or plain with coffee, it sits somewhere between a cake and a bread and refuses to choose.
