Traditional Uzbek Cook-off
With this date, you will take a culinary journey straight to the heart of Uzbekistan. Unleash your inner chef and bond with your partner as you cook traditional Uzbek dishes. End the evening by enjoying your homemade cuisine and a glass of wine.
- You and your partner attend a cooking class specialized in traditional Uzbek cuisine, such as those offered in some culinary schools or restaurants in Tashkent. During the class, you both have the opportunity to prepare and cook a typical Uzbek meal under the supervision of an experienced chef.
- After cooking, the best part follows – eating. Now you both get to taste your homemade Uzbek cuisine. Enjoy the delicious food while chatting and laughing about the fun memories you have just created.
- End the evening by sharing a glass of wine to celebrate your successful culinary adventure, and perhaps your newfound favorite activities in cooking and trying out new recipes. This could be the start of your regularly scheduled 'cook and taste' nights at home.
Preparation steps:
- Research about the traditional Uzbek dishes and pick one that you'd love to learn. Look for a venue in Tashkent that offers cooking classes of your chosen dish. It's preferable to pick a time that would allow you to enjoy the meal during dinner.
- Once you've settled on a place and dish, book the class ahead of time. This ensures you get a slot and it also gives the opportunity for the staff to prepare the ingredients and set up the cooking stations before your arrival.
- On the day, wear comfortable and casual attire. Don't forget that you're dealing with food so, avoid wearing anything that you wouldn't want to get dirty.

Some tips:
- Make the cooking session more exciting by turning it into a friendly competition. See whose dish tastes better or who can complete their dish first. This adds fun and excitement to the date.
- Don’t worry too much about the outcome of your cooking. The most important thing is that you both are having fun and learning something new. Your dish does not need to be perfect, it’s the memories you’re making that counts.
- To make your date more special, consider buying a bottle of fine wine to pair with the dishes you cooked. You can ask the chef or a local wine merchant for suggestions on which wine goes best with your dishes.
