Posted by Almazonly



On the special occasion of 18th anniversary of Kazakhstan's Independence Day there was an official reception with representatives of the Presidential Administration, the Office of the Prime Minister, ministries and departments of the Republic of Poland, foreign diplomats, heads of large companies and the media, the Kazakh Diaspora and students in the Polish capital - Warsaw.

It was noted that such achievements of our country in the foreign policy sphere like chairmanship in the OSCE in 2010 and OIC in 2011 positively influence on implementation of key initiatives of the Kazakh President on further development of the CICA, Congress of leaders of world and traditional religions, and Ministerial Conference "Common World: Progress through Diversity".

In addition, The Kazakh Ambassador expressed hope on Poland's support in the issue of "Path to Europe" program implementation. "Poland has great experience in political and economic transformation and could be one of Kazakhstan's conductors in this program implementation", he said.

The event was attended by more than 700 people. At the end the triumph of his members became owners of the publication of a prominent British politician, journalist, writer and author of numerous bestsellers on public figures of Jonathan Aitken "Nazarbaev and the creation of Kazakhstan.".



Let me recall that Kazakhstan declared itself an independent country on December 16, 1991, the last Soviet republic to do so. Its communist-era leader, Nursultan Nazarbayev, became the country's new president. From the onset, Kazakhstan's leaders recognized that building a viable and stable independent state would require a great deal of diplomatic finesse since no one could easily protect this landlocked state from the effects of Russian displeasure in that period of time.

Mr. Karim Massimov alleged that it is all falsification and farther from truth, but we do not put trust on our government any longer. It is possible actually. I even guess everything is possible in these times that financial crisis brought about. We need you ! to join our Activity on Facebook, Twitter, Mail.ru, VKontakte, whenever you have time !

Are Cookbooks Enough ?

Posted by almazonly

Why Cookbooks Aren't Enough though ?

Okay, so cookbooks can be fun. Mouthwatering pictures. Ethnic cuisines. Inspiring ideas. Maybe you even try a recipe or two.
But, here's what's often wrong with many of them:

1) They tell you to open a can of this or a box of that.

Have you ever looked at the ingredients labels on those cans of cream of mushroom soup or boxes of spanish rice? You'd need a degree in chemistry just to understand it! Whatever happened to real food? You can make a cream of mushroom soup from-scratch in about 15 minutes. And if you time it well, you could probably use the from-scratch cream of mushroom soup in a recipe without adding any additional time to how long it takes you to get dinner on the table.

2) They leave out important information.

Remember what I said about thawing meat? You really want to bring cuts of meat up to room temperature before you start cooking them. A cookbook isn't going to tell you that. It won't tell you what the difference is between cubing, dicing, or mincing. It won't tell you how to care for your frying fats so that you can safely re-use them later. It's easy to become quickly discouraged if you follow a recipe's directions but end up with a disaster (or at least a not-so-appetizing meal) on your hands.

3) They don't teach you how to source ingredients.

For example, not all potatoes are created equal. Some varieties are good for baking, while others are better for potato salad. Most cookbooks don't tell you how to buy ripe peaches or select cuts of meat. They don't tell you why even your store bought whole milk isn't as creamy as the milk your grandmother cooked with when she lived on a farm, or how that might affect the outcome of a recipe. They don't tell you how to find quality cooking oils.

I just recently read a book How To Cook Like Your Grandmother, but there was nothing about Central Asian Cuisine.



Of course, here comes the point that I need our Kazakh Cook Book. I had it actually in Russian and another one in English from Peace Corps in Almaty, but I lost both of them. Unfortunately there are not much information about how to cook real traditional meal with explanations in English, so that it could give people like me -- people like you -- the tools you'd need to start enjoying wholesome, tasty, from-scratch Kazakh Meals.

Hopefully these web pages will empower you to start as well:
