Tajik Cookery Class

About this course

Participants work together in a family-style kitchen to prepare a selection of Tajik dishes influenced by Central Asian and Silk Road food traditions. The menu may include lamb broth, wedding kebab, mung bean and rice, filled pastries, semolina flatbread and salad. Each person chooses one dish to focus on, while also moving between tasks, helping with other recipes and learning from the wider preparation. The class ends with participants sharing the food they have made with the group.

What you'll learn

• Prepare a chosen Tajik dish from the class menu.
• Work across several recipes as part of a shared kitchen team.
