Discover the flavors of Uzbekistan on a private market tour and hands-on cooking class in Samarkand in a family home. Shop for fresh local ingredients before learning to prepare authentic plov and traditional bread over a wood-fired stove, then enjoy your homemade meal together while experiencing genuine Uzbek hospitality.

Your experience begins with a guided tour of a small neighborhood market where residents shop for fresh, seasonal fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy products. Shodiyor will introduce you to his favorite vendors, where you will purchase a few ingredients for your Samarkand cooking class.

Then drive together to Shodiyor’s family home in the picturesque village of Eshim Oksok. At his simple and welcoming home, meet Barchinoy, his sister and your host for this home cooking experience. During this 1.5-hour Uzbek cooking class, learn to cook plov and a fresh salad. Alternatively, you may choose to bake traditional Uzbek bread in a tandir, a clay outdoor oven. Begin by chopping the meat and carrots for your plov or kneading the dough for your bread before joining Barchinoy in the outdoor kitchen to cook over a traditional wood-fired stove.
