The Land of 1001 Delights
Tastes
of Tatarstan
Tatarstan boasts an authentic cuisine that is rich,
flavourful and nourishing, with strong tastes and vivid
colours. Feasts are an important part of the Tatarstan
culture, with their own rituals of serving a seemingly
endless number of dishes. A meal is like a journey along
a river with a thousand bends. The full course is not all
evident from the start, but be assured that with each
new horizon everyone will find something to their taste
and satisfaction. During feasts one finds Tatarstan's
famous hospitality at its best.
The traditional Tatar cooking is the bedrock of the
modern gastronomic wealth of Tatarstan. Age-tested
traditional dishes are satisfying and luscious: meat
and vegetable triangle-shaped pastries "echpochmak",
elegant and velvety "kystybyi" mashed-potato pies,
sweet melting sensations of "talkysh kaleve" and "chak-
chak" honey and sugar pyramids are widely available to
be enjoyed by the visitor.View entire presentation
