The Land of 1001 Delights

Gourmands are advised to note the nascent new Tatarstan cuisine. Young local chefs, well-versed in classical cooking techniques and inspired by local ingredients, create original and remarkable dishes. Core ingredients are wild mushrooms and berries, homemade dairy products including a heavenly "katyk" cream, fish and game. The ultimate food souvenir from Tatarstan is of course a smoked goose. This traditional home dish is enjoying a surge in demand. Whilst the lean dry-cured horse meat is historically ubiquitous in Tatarstan, if a novelty for visitors. The hot drink of choice in Tatarstan is black tea flavoured with thyme, St. John's Wort and marjoram. Traditionally it is served with dried apricots, prunes, raisins and a delicious selection of nuts. Dishes and ingredients from Tatarstan are widely known and appreciated across Russia. They have become the symbols of health, wealth and the joy of life the main values of Tatarstan people which they happily share with their guests. -
