Argo Georgian Bakery - Revisited
After reading about the Republic of Georgia in the "cooking vacations" portion of the May Gourmet Magazine, I couldn't stop thinking about Argo Georgian Bakery. I posted about my love of Argo over at Gapers Block on Friday and was lucky enough to make a trip up to Devon with Nick this afternoon.
I haven't made khachapuri in a long time, but I plan to soon. The Georgian Feast by Darra Goldstein is the best Georgian cookbook available, in my opinion, and provides the recipe that I typically use. However, you could also try Nigella Lawson's recipe that The Traveler's Lunchbox provides (along with some stunning photos) or the recipe published in the aforementioned issue of Gourmet.
I was waiting to try that cheesebread recipe from Gourmet. That photo is swoonworthy and the idea of cheese melted in with hot fresh bread is just so sinful!

I have never had it but just say bread and you catch my attention!

Funny, I live within walking distance and have never ventured inside. I will now, Thanks.

I've stopped in Argo a couple of times in the last two weeks and was delighted with the food and service both times. Highly recommended!

The Georgian Feast's recipe involves refrigerating overnight. I'm much more a fan of the kind where you fry it, but definitely the Argo Georgian Bakery has AMAZING cheese bread.

Amanda, it truly is the perfect match, to my mind.
Toni, I'm jealous! Though upon serious reflection, I think it is probably good that I can only visit infrequently.
Hi Aran, Evan, and Sarah!
