The Bayanaul National Park in Pavlodar, Kazakhstan, is a region rich in history and culture. Traditional Kazakh cuisine has been influenced by the nomadic pastoral lifestyle of its inhabitants, adapting to the harsh climate and landscape. Though historically the cuisine is known for its reliance on meat products, especially from horses and sheep, the area also includes a variety of dishes that cater to different tastes including plant-based options. The use of dairy, grains, and vegetables reflects the adaptation to semi-sedentary agricultural life that some Kazakhs adopted over time.
