What Is Uzbek Food?
On the first episode in a new series from Eater called Cooking in America, host Pelin Keskin learns about Uzbek cuisine by shopping and cooking (and eating!) with Damira Inatullaeva, a cooking instructor at The League of Kitchens, who moved to Brooklyn from Uzbekistan in 2013.

I love the video and its content. ♥
But to be honest I can’t comprehend why this video and the uzbek cuisine is called a «Mash-Up of Cultural Influences». If you wanna be that exactly, every cuisine has its influences and origin and there’s food with its origin in uzbek cuisine! But I’ve never heard any cuisine called a «Mash-Up». How can one assume that Uzbek cuisine has absorbed everything from other cultures like this title says? The uzbek cuisine is so wonderful, don’t make it down with a title like this. 🙂
Aziza in the western world Central Asia is just assumed to be a mix of different cultures, for some reason, perhaps out of ignorance. I think people associate the surrounding cultures they are already familiar with (Russian, Indian, Chinese) and assume it will be a mix of that.
This was so well done! Really appreciated the hosts respect for the culture. Would love to see this as a regular series.
Brute Choi 공감해요 !

+Pelin Keskin I just realised, you are the host, well this is the first video I have seen you in. You do seem respectful towards the couple and genuinely interested in eating their food and listening to what they have to say. I would like to see more of you in future videos. 🐶
Yes, so many American tv chefs I see on shows are often so rude and disrespectful towards other people. This girl was the opposite 😊
+Vanessa Cowles Thank you so much!
Did anyone think of Borat and his hate for Uzbekistan?
I love this—you can see the shared context and respect between Pelin and the couple. Excited to see more from her! (If you haven’t signed her yet…… you should.)
+A BS Thanks for watching!
Please open a bread store in our Canada too PLEASE
Just found this channel through this video. I’d also be interested in seeing more from Pelin! 🙂
+plumear Thanks for watching! More to come from Pelin.
This is the shittiest Uzbek food I have ever seen, the woman doesnt even know how to make moshhorda, the girl should have found someone else or went to a choyxana in ny, and they forgot so many dishes.
Eng rasvo Ozbek ovkat pishirarkan kampir, moshxordaga kim oru soladi. Bu qiz boshqa oyla topish kerakedi, new yorkdi choyxonaladan bittasiga borsa bolardi, va kop Ozbek taomlar qopketi. Bular bizani milliy taomlarimizni va madaniyatimizni notori korsati.
Im uzbek
This is a wonderful video, great job 🙂
Great video! What an interesting insight into a cuisine that few of us have ever experienced! Keep it up!
In the middle east you can find Uzbek food almost everywere.. It’s so delicious
Samba Bamba roz Bukhari, manto, laghman, farmosa etc.
+Samba Bamba shwaya house
those boiled dumplings look delicious
Balkan people also eat bread with literally EVERY meal it’s ridiculous lol. Maybe we got that from the Turks. Is that a common thing among all Turkic peoples?
z e n z e n y o k u n a i It’s common among all Islamic countries. A lot of Baltic countries like Kosovo and Bosnia even Romania and Armenia got cultural and food influence from Islamic countries and empires. The only people who do it wrong would be the Greeks who obviously got pita from the Arabs through Turkish influence but they are the only ones who actually eat the pita kind of improperly. They don’t break the bread and eat with their hands they use pita only as a sandwich lol.
Fantastic!
