Der Tag mit Akram war super! Er hat uns pünktlich vom Hotel abgeholt & hat uns auf dem Bazar rumgeführt und uns lokale Spezialitäten gezeigt und probieren lassen. Wir sind dann in die Teppichfabrik, wo wir eine Tour bekommen haben, die sehr interessant war & sind dann in sein Haus gefahren und haben mit ihm und seiner Frau gekocht. Anschließend sind wir dann noch in eine Bäckerei gefahren, wo wir gesehen haben, wie das Brot traditionell gebacken wird! Vielen Dank Akram für den tollen Tag!

I really enjoyed learning to make plov and somsa during this cooking class in Samarkand. You can pick 1 dish in addition to the plov to make and it was really hard to choose as all the photo looked amazing. Akram took us to a handmade carpet making workshop and a non/bread making workshop before we went to his house to make plov. We had a great chat with Akram's family as well using google translate and chatgpt. It was a lovely way to experience Uzbek food and culture, and a memorable part of m...read more

Really great experience learning to cook plov. Akram also provides you with a list of options for your second dish. I chose shashlik. His entire family was so welcoming, and this was definitely one of my favorite experiences. The food was also phenomenal! I appreciated that he was so flexible on a start time for me and even dropped me off at the train station in time for me to catch my train back to Tashkent. You will not find a more hospitable and kind person.

サマルカンドで最高の体験のひとつになりました。 Akramさんと市場で食材を買い、パン工房で伝統的なパン作りを見学。その後ご自宅に招いていただき、ご家族や親戚の皆さんと交流しながら、プロフとチュチュヴァラを一緒に作りました。 料理はもちろん、Akramさんとご家族の温かいホスピタリティが本当に素晴らしかったです。単なる料理教室ではなく、ウズベキスタンの家庭や食文化に触れられる貴重な体験でした。心からおすすめします！ One of the best experiences I had in Samarkand! We shopped for ingredients at a local market with Akram, visited a bakery to see traditional bread being made, and then joined his family at their home to cook plov and chuchvara together. Akram and his family were incredibly warm and we...read more

Akram and his family were very welcoming with at least 3 generations of the wider family there, all hospitable and interesting. The food was delicious and Akram's English was very good so he was able to answer lots of questions we had had about Uzbekistan. We quickly felt like we were guests, not just tourists. I would really recommend this very memorable experience.
