4 hour Cooking private tour in Samarkand.

When I started working as a guide. Eventually I had an idea of organising one day trips and dinners in the picturesque villages of Samarkand. I invite you to the village of Eshim Oksok which is 15 kilometres away from Samarkand. There a question arises why in the village not in the city? The reason is that you can bake and observe the process of making Uzbek bread in Uzbek tandir. Moreover, you can see the village and the house and witness the way of life of Uzbek people. You can feel the world famous hospitality of Uzbek people. And of course take part in the process of making plov-the king of the dishes not only in Uzbekistan but also in Central Asia. The dish can be called osh or plov in English. However if you have made and tasted plov , you can participate in cooking other mouthwatering dishes of Uzbek people such as laghman, khazan kebab, dolma, gilmindi and manti. Welcome to our sunny Uzbekistan dear visitors!

We will start our tour in Reguistan square. After meeting we will drive to the village. Where are we will begin our tour. Traditionally plov in Uzbekistan is cooked by men. More than a thousand recipes with various ingredients of making plov are known. There a number of whole books dedicated exceptionally to this dish. We can mention many kinds of plov according to the region like Tashkent plov, Ferghana plov , Khorezm plov etc. Nevertheless we will make Samarkand plov.
