Did you learn cooking at school?

What dish would you like to learn to cook?

Do you like cooking?

I enjoy it when I'm not in a hurry. Cooking on a Sunday afternoon with some music on is relaxing, but cooking after a long day just feels like another task, so on weekdays I tend to keep it simple.

Who does the cooking in your family?

Mostly my mother, although my father is in charge of plov. In a lot of Uzbek families plov is traditionally a man's job, especially for big occasions, and my dad takes it very seriously.

What is the first dish you learned to cook?

Fried eggs with tomatoes, which hardly counts as cooking. The first proper dish was mastava, a rice soup. My grandmother taught me when I was about twelve, and I still make it exactly the way she showed me.

What dish would you like to learn to cook?

I'd really like to master plov myself. It looks simple, but getting the rice just right without it going mushy takes years of practice, and I'd like to be able to cook it for my own family one day.
