Georgian steampunk recipes — classic dishes reimagined with storytelling and flavor.
Intro/Story
In copper trays, fruit purée spreads thin like parchment, dried by the hiss of steam and gears. Sheets of color roll up like scrolls of flavor, preserved in time.
Tklapi is a traditional Georgian fruit leather made from puréed fruit, usually plums, apricots, or cherries. The purée is spread thin and dried in the sun or oven, resulting in tangy sheets that can be eaten as a snack or used in cooking. Tklapi is often folded or rolled and stored for winter, reflecting Georgia’s tradition of preserving seasonal harvests.
