Superb moment spent with Bekjon who, in addition to sharing his plov recipe with us, taught us a multitude of things about his country and life there throughout the activity. It was a great enrichment for the whole family. He is also very pleasant and eager to make this time as enjoyable as possible. Thanks again😀

A truly unforgettable evening that felt less like a tour and more like being welcomed into a family. We spent the afternoon learning to make traditional bread in a stone oven, using cotton plants as firewood. A simple, beautiful process that connected us to the land.

It was eye-opening, hum...daha fazla oku

My parents and I had a great experience with Bekjon! He took us to the butcher and the grocery store near his village, then brought us back to his family home to make the plov. It really felt like being welcomed into someone's family--we met his mother, his wife, and his nephews and made some delicious plov! He told us all about Uzbekistan and Uzbek traditions, and we shared some music on the way home. It was great to get off the tourist path a little bit and see someone's real life and home.

I learned a lot and would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable cooking class. The drive back was also a lot of fun—we shared music from our countries, and I really enjoyed it. Thi...daha fazla oku

I always do cooking classes whenever I visit different countries because I feel like it’s one of the most authentic ways to experience a culture and understand how people truly live. That’s why I booked this class, and honestly, it exceeded all my expectations. First, he picked me up from where I was staying. On the way, we stopped by a local grocery store to buy meat and vegetables needed for the cooking. Then we drove to his village. The village was incredibly cozy and peaceful, and it mostly...daha fazla oku
