Stalik Khankishiev - Bazaar, Kazan and dastarkhan. A leather-bound gift book.

"Bazaar, Kazan and Dastarkhan" is a colorful culinary encyclopedia by Stalik Khankishiev, dedicated to the rich culture of everyday Oriental food. The famous culinary guru and blogger has created not just a collection of recipes, but a fascinating narrative about the magic of simple natural products. The book invites the reader on a colourful journey through an oriental market (bazaar), where the author teaches how to choose the right spices, herbs, vegetables, fresh bread, and grains.
The central focus of the narrative is the traditional cookware — the cauldron, in which famous culinary masterpieces are created. Stalik explains in detail, with gentle humour and deep knowledge, the cooking techniques for both dishes familiar to many (dolma, chebureki, samsa) and rare national delicacies.
The entire structure of the book is elegantly thought out and follows the order in which dishes are served on a traditional festive table — the dastarkhan. The text is complemented by magnificent author’s photographs that provide detailed illustrations of each stage of the preparation process and convey the warm atmosphere of the East.
This publication teaches culinary intuition, allowing the reader to understand the very essence of gastronomic art, rather than just following instructions. The book has received high international recognition and won the prestigious Gourmand World Cookbook Awards in Paris.
This work will be an ideal gift for anyone who values hospitality, delicious food, and wants to master authentic Eastern cuisine.
