The Highlight of Our Samarkand Trip!
This activity is our most favorite part in our Samarkand trip last April. Akram was kind, friendly, and very knowledgeable.
He taught us about the unique ingredients found in the local market; took us to a bakery where we saw the bakers and the special way they bake Uzbek bread in tandoors; and then welcomed us in his own home where we learned to cook from him and his wife.
We also had the pleasure of having dinner with his family including his mother, nephew, and niece. They were all very hos...閱讀更多

Before the cooking lesson, Akram ...閱讀更多

I got to see and experience the authentic Uzbek culture and the life outs...閱讀更多

A must-to-do experience
This plov class was pure magic in a giant pot! Our wonderful host walked us through every step of Uzbekistan’s national treasure: sizzling the meat, slicing mountains of golden carrots (my stomach is still recovering), and layering the rice just right so it steams to perfection.
The kazan was big enough to bathe in. I briefly considered it.
The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the instructions were easy to follow, and the final dish was so rich and fragrant that I’m now convinced every other...閱讀更多
