"I couldn’t publish a cookbook and not feature this recipe – arguably, Georgia’s greatest gift to the world. This cheese bread (khacha meaning ‘cheese’, puri meaning ‘bread’) has over 20 different regional iterations, across a reasonably small country, which should give you a sense of how seriously Georgians take their food. Silverbeet is usually reserved for mkhlovana or pkhali dip – so I hope they’ll forgive its addition to this adjaruli khachapuri, which is otherwise distinguished by its gondola shape, to reflect the port city’s seafaring heritage, and coddled egg in the centre."
