Cooking In Mongolia is not as challenging as it was made out to be. Moreover, maintaining my vegetarian diet has not been as difficult either. There are many things accessible here in Mongolia. Although I am in an Aimag center, which has a generally good food market, I’d reason that this would be possible in the countryside too. Peace Corps issues a cookbook to all volunteers that is edited each year and all of the recipes are either updated or I would assume discarded if another is similar and better. In the cookbook there are different sections Hoodoo, and Posh-corps. These perspective sections offer alternative-cooking methods for one living in the countryside verses the one living in a town or a city.
My experience with cooking did not start here. Once I decided to become a vegetarian four years ago. I had to fend for my self the 1st year. Besides my aunt who enjoys cooking any and everything thing (Trina) and the occasional veggie dish from T-Hurt (step mom), I had chosen an interestingly independent path. Actually, my friends were good about it too… But it works and I love it, even more in Mongolia. A few of my staple dishes or regulars are Pizza, Apple Cinnamon Pancakes, Fried rice, Curries, Vegetable Soups, Breads, Bagels, Granola, Yogurt and Peanut Butter. Lately I have explored biscuits, cakes and bean burgers. My downfall is that I try them over and over until I get it right, leaving me tired of that particular recipe. Yet, I find that there is a peace and joy in cooking and even more when the cooking is done with and for others.
