Babu's "Kuchmachi"

Babu (Tamar babuadze) is a friend of mine who promised when I was back home to Tbilisi last year that she would cook kuchmachi for me. She is a great cook! I would even dare to say that she is THE cook! Since then I was back home twice but she never did. To be honest, I realised yesterday (a day before a planned "Kuchmachi" dinner at hers) that I'm not really a fan of this dish and I don't really remember why we came up with an idea of kuchmachi... But that's not really important. Im happy she didn't cook it because instead we had a delicious non-traditional-new-year dinner today. (You gotta keep in mind that in Georgia, we celebrate New Year from 1st January until 14th January).

I didn't take pictures of food because I was too busy to think about it when it was served...

Starter: Humous with Armenian Lavashi to dip in.
Main: Pastry with mushrooms, ham, chicken and stuff. It was something!
Desert: Quince crumble! JIZUZ!
Drink: Babu's father's red house wine.

Instead I took pictures of one of Babu's rooms and the kitchen where the magic happens.
