Chak-Chak

Meet Chak-Chak, the glorious sweet treat that graces every Kyrgyz celebration table. Crisp little nuggets of fried dough are bathed in a warm, glossy syrup of honey and sugar, then heaped into a golden mound that is as pretty as it is moreish. Sticky, crunchy and very sweet, it is the sort of thing you reach for again and again. Perfect for festive gatherings or simply as a delicious afternoon nibble with a pot of tea.

Ganfan

Meet Ganfan, a comforting one-pot dish from the heart of Central Asia that brings together tender rice, slow-cooked meat and sweet carrots in a single fragrant bowl. Born on the tables of Kyrgyz nomads, it is honest, warming food that carries centuries of tradition in every spoonful. With its gentle spicing of cumin and paprika, Ganfan is just as at home at a lively family gathering as it is on an ordinary weeknight. Bring a taste of the Kyrgyz steppe straight to your own kitchen.
