Learn About Central Asia
By Bermet Kubatbekova
This summer was monumental for the Kubatbekova family. Not just because we threw a massive party, but because my eldest and beloved sister, Aigul, finally married our wonderful zhezde (brother-in-law), John Paul. For you, this might sound like a happy romantic update. For me and my other sister Aim, it was sweet liberation!

The first time you see plov you might think it's pretty straightforward. Rice with carrots, onions, meat and oil. Then you travel around Central Asia and realize every single place makes it completely differently. It's basically like reading a map through food. Each version tells you about the people making it, where they live and what matters in their daily life.
By Aigul Kubatbekova
Here's the thing about yurts in Kyrgyzstan. Most people hear "yurt" and picture sleeping on the ground, freezing at 3am and walking to use a hole in the ground. That's one version of yurt camping, sure. But there's also luxury yurt camps where you still get the circular felt dwelling, the traditional structure, the mountains and horses outside your door.
