To understand Georgia, one must know that the country was occupied by Russia for nearly 70 years in the twentieth century. Twenty percent of the country remains occupied. This, however, is what makes Georgia so unique. As Rene Redzepi said, Georgia is “one of the last great undiscovered food cultures of Europe.” He described the country as being so slow in its development that it somehow ended up ahead of everyone else. It is astounding, unassuming and almost too shy to show its greatness.
