Cook the region's most beloved dish

Take home more than a souvenir, and impress your loved ones by learning how to prepare Central Asia's most beloved cuisine.

Plov is a dish that is common in the table of every family in the south of Kyrgyzstan (and across Central Asia!). It consists of a rice dish with meat, carrots, garlic, and spices. It tastes, smells, and looks delicious, and friends and family back home will certainly be impressed. Discover the best gastronomy Kyrgyzstan can offer by joining a plov cooking class.

The plov cooking tour is a complete cultural experience where you will have the chance to shop for ingredients, cook, and then eat a traditional plov. The tour starts with a little stroll through the local markets to shop for all the ingredients needed to prepare the dish. You will then move to a local family house where you can help in the making of the plov. At the end, perhaps the best part of this experience, you'll sit down to share the meal with the group!
