Learning to Cook Mongolian Cuisine

Often misunderstood, Mongolian cuisine is so much more than the meat and diary-filled dishes it’s become known for. While meals in the Mongolian countryside are often simple and quickly made, usually prepared over a dung-fueled fire, that doesn’t make them any less delicious. In this cooking class you’ll take the basics of the Mongolian diet but add in modern cooking techniques.

Featured ingredients during this class may include foraged berries, sea buckthorn (a Mongolian favorite), wild onion, wild chive, and locally grown tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, spinach, and onions. Additionally, seasonally fresh fruits, vegetables, spices, and more will be added to each dish to add even more depth of flavor.

After this cooking class you’ll no doubt have a deeper and better understanding of the Mongolian diet and how this culture has survived in the harsh Mongolian environment for centuries.

Get a better understanding of the history of Mongolian cuisine, the basics of Mongolian-style cooking, and learn more about what’s grown and available for eating in Mongolia today.
