I have 1.5 years of hands-on experience in Uzbek cuisine, specializing in traditional dishes like plov, manti, shashlik, and samsa. I’ve mastered the authentic preparation techniques that are essential to Uzbek cooking, such as proper rice layering for plov and dumpling making for manti. My experience comes from cooking for family events, where I’ve served groups of 30-50 people, as well as refining recipes to balance tradition with modern flavors.

In addition to traditional recipes, I enjoy experimenting with fusion dishes that combine Uzbek spices and techniques with other cuisines. For example, I’ve created quinoa-based plov for health-conscious clients and gluten-free versions of samsa. This has allowed me to make Uzbek cuisine more accessible and appealing to a wider audience.

Moreover, I place great emphasis on ingredient sourcing—using fresh, high-quality lamb, cumin, and saffron to ensure that the dishes are as authentic and flavorful as possible. I also love sharing the cultural significance behind the dishes helping others appreciate the rich heritage of Uzbek food.

In summary, my cooking is a blend of traditional expertise and creative innovation, focused on delivering high-quality, flavorful meals while introducing others to the diverse world of Uzbek cuisine.
