Tour Details
A gastronomic tour of Uzbekistan
Uzbek cuisine is one of the great hidden kitchens of the world, shaped by nomads, oasis farmers and two millennia of Silk Road trade. This tour is built around the table: markets in the morning, cooking in the afternoon and long dinners with local families.
You will learn to cook plov in a giant kazan, bake bread in a clay tandoor, fold manti and samsa, and taste the dried fruit, melons and spices that once travelled by caravan to Persia and China.
Between meals we still see the great sights of Tashkent, Samarkand and Bukhara — so this is also a full introduction to the country’s history.
