Join Sigal and Rabbi Amy Bolton as we prepare a Shavuot Dairy Dinner together! Make Khachapuri, a Georgian cheese-filled bread with Sigal, and then make cheesecake with Rabbi Amy as we gear up for the holiday, which begins later that night. The Khachapuri can be eaten as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. It can be eaten with a side salad as a full meal, or as a smaller part of a more extensive dinner.
