I found this great cooking blog ... see the link below of Lea's Cooking. Much of the food found in Kazakhstan is influenced by the Russian cuisine. Many of the wonderful Russian food that Lea's blog covers can also be found in Almaty's shops and restaurants.
And this Russian honey cake is to die for : )
Lea's Cooking: Russian Honey Layered Cake Medovik "Медовик": Medovik is one of the most popular cakes in Russia. It is also known as Honey layered cake.
The great thing about Lea's blog is that it is a great way to see what you might expect to find in Almaty, and just another way to prepare and familiarise yourself with how life will be here.
Preparation and being open about the experience is key to increasing the adjustment to a new environment.
Thank you for all the kind feedback that I have been receiving.
