This Araveli meal embodies a simple truth, “The forest gives many things. We return the gift by wasting nothing.

My garden’s magic has yielded a rainbow of flowers to embellish a lemon cake that I made today. It’s a lemon cake with lemon curd and lemon cream cheese frosting! And it’s as delicious as it looks. 😋🍋🌼

Khachapuri and Velashi are often served together during larger Araveli gatherings.

Araveli Khachapuri — warm, baked, hearth-born.

Velashi (macaroni salad) — cool, fresh, garden-born.

One comes from the fire and the other comes from the shade.

Together they represent two sides of the same Araveli saying,

A meal is to be shared and bring conversation and joy.

Berries, capsicums, cucumber, shisho leaves, goji, blueberries, cranberries and vinegar.

Berries are collected from the local market along a river. It was very crowded. Reached the high tower home late at night. It was another Friday.
