“I had a fantastic cooking class near Samarkand! Bekjon picked me up in the city and took me to his family home in a nearby village. Together with him and his mother, we prepared traditional Plov on an authentic outdoor stove. It was interesting to learn so much about Uzbekistan, its culture, and everyday life while cooking.
