Taliin Amtan (Mongolia)

About the Book

A raw, primal, and deeply authentic journey across the vast Mongolian steppe, into the warmth of the ger (yurt), and around the fires of the world's last great nomadic civilization. Taliin Amtan (meaning "Taste of the Steppe") presents ten of Mongolia's most iconic dishes and traditions, each with a stunning full-page professional photograph, a complete ingredient list, a detailed step-by-step method, and an insider Chef's Tip. From the juicy steamed Buuz dumplings of Tsagaan Sar to the ancient stone-cooked Khorkhog on the open steppe, from the comforting Tsuivan noodle stew to the rock-hard, sun-dried Aaruul cheese — this book captures the extraordinary ingenuity and soul of Mongolian nomadic cuisine.
