DESCRIPTION:Chef Sanobar will teach delicious\, authentic Tajik dishes followed by a sit-down meal. Warm & easy\, like being with family!\n\n\nABOUT THE CUISINE \nTajik cuisine\, with its roots in the ancient Silk Road city of Samarkand\, is a beautiful blend of flavours and traditions from across Central Asia.

Tajik cooking is colourful\, comforting\, and deeply tied to family and community — food made to be enjoyed with love. \n \nABOUT THE CHEF \nA message from chef Sanobar: \n“My name is Sanobar and I am from the ancient city of Samarkand\, Uzbekistan. It is in the middle of the Silk Roads\, which means it has been a crossroads for trade and remains a melting pot of different cultures. The food culture is very colourful\, taking ingredients and flavours from many cuisines. My family is Tajik and so the food I have grown up with and will teach in my classes is based around this culture \nI learned to cook from a very young age from my mother and grandmother. The village where I grew up had cows\, sheep\, fruits and vegetables and all of my favourite recipes are based on fresh ingredients. I have nine siblings. My mother was our hero feeding her large family every day. \nCooking for my family also brings me great joy and I would love to share my recipes with you.

Eritrea is a beautiful country in East Africa and is surrounded by mountains and the Red Sea. I grew up with my grandmother\, who loved to cook and taught me all her recipes. My friends and I liked to cook our dishes for each other and so I also learnt how to cook other cuisines. My favourite dish is Salata Banzinjan\, an aubergine salad\, which I make in lots of different ways. Eritrean food is typically spicy and is served on one plate to be shared with the whole family. One of the things that we eat often is a fermented bread called injera\, which we have at lunchtime. Today\, we will be serving injera with Shiro and Salata Banzinjan. I came to the UK in 2012 and the biggest barrier I faced was the language. Now I study English at the Red Cross and one day we were writing about our favourite food. A few weeks later\, I brought in the dish that I wrote about – kebab – and my teacher and colleagues liked it so much\, she suggested I apply to join Migrateful!
