Lesson “Uzbek Cuisine”

We’ve decided to have an Uzbek cuisine lesson not by chance: our chef Konstantin Rossoshenko worked for several years in the restaurant “Quince”, where he was taught to cook by a chef from Uzbekistan. Coming up with themes for lessons, we always focus on those dishes that inspire the chef. There was no doubt, we will prepare pilaf, samsa and pomegranate salad. We cook all the dishes together with chef so that not only our eyes can see the process, but our hands will remember it also. Konstantin gave us a lot of advice and shared the intricacies of cooking, answered the students’ questions, showed how to hold the knife properly in order to cut everything safely and quickly. We talked about what dishes are better for cooking pilaf. And in the end, all together in a good mood we ate what we cooked.

Recipes from the lesson:

• Pilaf from Samarkand
• Samsa with pumpkin and sheep cheese
• Onion and pomegranate salad
