Cần Quan Tâm

This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Shodiyor will pick you up from your central hotel in Samarkand and drive you to his village of Eshim Oksok, 15 kilometers away from Samarkand. The experience takes place in Shodiyor's home, where you will get to cook and eat together. Begin your experience with a short tour of the local market, where locals shop for their fresh, seasonal fruits and vegetables. Back home, in your 1.5 hour Uzbek cooking class learn to make plov or traditional bread and a salad. Either learn to bake and observe the process of making non (Uzbek bread) in a tandir (traditional outdoor oven). Or then learn to cook plov, the famous one pot rice and lamb dish. After you cook, sit down and eat the meal you helped prepare. In case you don't wish to cook plov or non, here are a few other dishes you can choose from: laghman (a dish of meat, vegetables and pulled noodles) or kazan kebab (fried meat and potatoes) or dolma (stuffed grape leaves) or gilmindi (Uzbek pancakes) or manti (dumplings) - please let Shodiyor know in advance if you'd like to cook any of these dishes instead of plov.

The cooking class was truly wonderful. We had a great afternoon at the market and then had a lot of fun preparing the plov and baking bread. Our hosts were incredibly friendly and we had a lot of fun. The class is highly recommended.

Wonderful experience learning to cook plov and bread in a traditional tandoor! We first got to go to the local market to select the ingredients for our dishes. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, welcoming us into her home. Would recommend to anyone interested in learning to cook Uzbek cuisine and to learn more about the culture!
Plov time!

We enjoyed a lot the local market visit to but the ingredients to cook the Plov. Sharing the whole experience in a local’s home and learning step by step how to cook the traditional meal was amazing. The whole experience lasted around 5.5 hours, so if you only have one day in Samarkand, we recommend you to use it to explore the city. But if you have 2-3 days, it’s worth to take this class!
Very welcoming host

My Favorite Experience in Uzbekistan

This was possibly my favorite memory of Uzbekistan. Sunnat is an incredible young guy who took us to buy local ingredients from the market and brought us to a cozy home outside the city. There, we learned from a local family, how to cook Plov and Nan using the tandoor Plov cauldron. The family was so welcoming and even though I’m sure they deal with tourists all the time, they made us feel like truly welcome guests in their home. If you don’t speak Russian, this is the easiest way to meet and connect with locals and get a glimpse into both Uzbek tradition and daily life.
All you need is plov!

We had a great day with Sunnat, a terrific guide. He picked us up at our hotel, took us shopping at a huge market and then we headed out to a family home to cook and eat. The family was very welcoming and kind. We chopped the meat and vegetables and then stirred them over the fire; we also helped make bread. We ate together and really enjoyed the children, who were very engaged in the whole process. A very special day.
An unforgettable experience, we would highly recommend!

Our cooking class was an unforgettable experience. The whole family welcomed us to their home. The food was delicious. Our guide Sunnat was absolutely amazing and made the cooking class to an even more memorable experience. He shared so much information about (his) life in Usbekistan. We would highly recommend this tour!!!

Absolutely loved this experience. Easily my favorite trip experience, and paired perfectly well with a separate day tour of the city. The family opened their home and were so warm and welcoming. There was no pretention, just a hands-on activity. Come with an open mind and empty stomach. Don't make of the mistake like I did and overeat on the bread before the palov was ready. It was difficult because the bread was so good! The fresh tandoor taste is just so special. Even if you do, you won't regret it.
My BEST time in Samarkand!

It's our favourite experience in Uzbekistan. Highly recommended. Shodiyor is a elegant French teacher. We went to market together, bought all the ingredients for plov, cut carrots with lovely family members in this beautifully decorated house, and cooked with traditional wood fire stove. The whole experience was authentic. I'm grateful to have this opportunity to visit this family and had wonderful time with them.
