Uzbek Cooking Class in a Traditional Village Home

Wonderful and unique experience

Their family place is wonderful with a beautiful garden, and they let us try some of fruit fresh from that garden. Then they showed us how to make the plov, which was very cool to see and ended up delicious. Unfortunately we did not get to see how they made the manty, which was too bad. But we did go shopping together before cooking, including seeing how the bread is made, which was very interesting. Everyone was very friendly. Really recommended if you want to get a glimpse into real Uzbek life.

Bake Legendary Samarkand Bread in Tandir

Bread making in tandir

Excellent activity where we got to see the whole process of baking bread, including the bakers diving into the tandirs. We also got to try out making bread and bring bread back home. It was a really unique experience! Thank you to our guide Abdulaziz who explained the whole process to us, told us about Samarkand too and had interesting conversations with us. He made sure we were taken care of and enjoyed the whole experience.
