The content is designed so that dishes can be cooked anywhere in the world by people of different cultures. In the book you will also find my additional tips on how you can replace specific ingredients and modify the recipe, the official website of the European Union Delegation to Kazakhstan reads. 
During the official presentation, EU Ambassador Sven-Olov Carlsson noted: "Indeed, both for Europeans and Kazakhs, food is a defining part of our lives, the component that brings us together. This book is a sign of gratitude to Kazakhstan for its hospitality and an invitation to learn new things about its European neighbours".
Chef Talgat Akbergenov shared with his expressions about the book: "Kazakhstan, located in the heart of Eurasia, has always been at the crossroads of the influence of various culinary traditions. Our gastronomic culture is always open to new tastes and combinations. In my view, "Taste of Europe" is a kind of culinary journey through all 28 countries of the European Union".
