You get a chance to experiment with so many delicious food. And the most important the whole family gets together and you can bring happiness not only to yourself, which is a bit selfish (but who cares) but to many other people. So I decided to write about traditional delight which might be unknown for my foreign follower but very typical to Georgian Camarades :)

Gozinayi is Georgian national sweet delight which is prepared for New Year and Christmas Eve. If you love honey and walnut, this will definitely meet your expectations.

Ingredients:

• Honey 1 cup
• Sugar 1 tbsp.
• Walnuts 600 gr.

Then evenly roll it with a roller (wet the roller with water not to stick) on a wooden board. Remember cut it until it is hot, otherwise you are a bit screwed as it gets pretty hard.

Grand Bisous !

About Me

Bonjour tout le monde, my name is Mariam, I’m 22 and I love cooking. My sister inspired me to start this blog because she thinks I have to share with my cooking experience with you this way, rather than just posting delicious photos on instagram day by day. I took her advise and VOILA, Welcome on my Cherryspot !

Things with me and kitchen started 6 years ago when I was 16. My first try was a Chinese Cake with cream and fruits. I remember being nervous when I served it to my family members. To my great surprise they liked it. Oh, those comments about how delicious it  was ! It was amazing and since than, I am like poisoned.

Whenever I am happy or sad, I can always make my day better by cooking. Call it a hobby, a gambling, or the sweetest thing I can do, but this process simply astonishes me. And than of course, I love to eat.

I live in Tbilisi, Georgia a little country with mountains and sea. It is Caucasus region, with one half on Europe and another on Asia. Culture is rich and diverse. Cuisine is super delicious with its significant traits. I will also be happy to share some receipts of my homemade national dishes time by time.

I believe patisseries is the best thing on earth worth living for, although I have my own concerns with calories and weigh time by time. Oh how I wish I could eat and eat and eat without gaining weigh. But we have to face it girls, looks in those skinny jeans are not worth rejecting a single bite of cherry pie with a spoon of vanilla ice-cream on it, and you know what I mean.

My vote goes to Happiness, So

Cherry pie for everyone,

Bon Appetite !
