Kazakhstan

Country - Kazakhstan

Cuisine Description - The cuisine of Kazakhstan relies on a variety of traditions that have influenced the culture to its core, the cooking process as well. Kazakhstan is divided into 14 provinces (oblystar), and so the whole cuisine is divided and influenced by the area where people prepare specific traditional meals. However, no matter the ethnicity, the 'beshbarmak', which is considered to be the national dish, is prepared almost the same in all regions of the country.

Depending on the region and the influences it has suffered, you will find typical dishes made in a specific traditional way. In the region closer to Russia, you will certainly find pelmenis and blinys to be the most cooked dishes. In areas influenced by the Asian cuisine, the pilav will be the most common dish available. It basically consists of rice and meat, including all types, from fish to horse meat, which is very frequently used in the Kazakhstan cuisine.

In the east part of the country, spicy salads and Uighurs noodles are the main dishes found in the cuisine, even though the horse meat is also a great source of cooking recipes. People in Kazakhstan are very friendly and will most defiantly enjoy your company for dinner at their place, with home cooked food and brandy. Copyright Recipes Wiki
