And all of them are divided into amateur and professional craftsmen. Professionals from the Uzbek cuisine should be adequately paid, because he knows his own worth and allows himself to choose the employer.

We reserve the examination table while the graduates will ask questions about the processing of chicken carcasses, and went to the brazier. From there came the fragrant smoke. This is one of the students chose the topic for the exam "Kebabs»
What?! It just seems, or on the grill, barbecue ground near one of the most difficult kinds of shish kebab - pork loin skewers of mutton ?!
- Hello - I welcome the student - Let your barbecue will be successful. It skewers of pork loin?

Student in great detail and really explains. We'll leave it a secret recipe. Because of this boy will grow a beautiful master barbecue with its own handwriting. The boy has deep knowledge, have a skill, a fantasy and taste.
Talented student name Sayfitdin Alikulov.
- Sayfitdin, we in Uzbekistan there is a very well-known journalist, Eugene Sklyarevskaya, so here it is everyone who prepares barbecue asks: "Why ground kebab sticks with no falls?»

We will not interfere Sayfitdin, wait for the result of his labors, and return to the examination committee.
The next student on the way. In his hands - delicate dumplings and mayonnaise salad.
The openwork mantle Finer Roll out the dough, they watered dressing Uzbek katyk with salt, pepper and herbs.
- This is what manti? Uighur, Uzbek, Kazakh? - It sounds a question from examiners
- Uzbek home - corresponds to a student
- How many servings here? It is a common dish, or one?
Student somewhat lost. Yes, it is understandable. House Manti served on a common dish, and at the points catering orders each piece. These dumplings, which brought a lot of our students can eat. Mighty, delicious dumplings. But the calculation of servings in a chef really no one has canceled.
Salad with the same name "Spicy" is seen very much like the students of this group, as was repeated several times. Cooked carrots, potatoes, eggs, fresh cucumbers, canned corn and mayonnaise dressing.
But the long-awaited and our chef, Sayfitdin, with whom we have had the privilege to talk. In one of his arm Greek salad, in another - two kinds of barbecue:
President of the Association of Chefs of Uzbekistan, which has seen many of its activities the best kebabs, pointing shashalyk of pork loin, said:
- If skewers of pork loin at least half closer to the ideal, we will immediately put you five!
Sayfitdin nods, he do not even care.
The knife raised over a slice of pork loin. Fork holds its edge. Examiners frozen. By the way the meat will behave under the knife, it will become clear how it mildly ...
Meat knife lends itself easily, but at the same time elastic. The knife slides along the connective tissue near the bone, but it lends itself to the knife without any apparent effort. Examiners try flavored slices of juicy meat - and give an estimate. Definitely five!
Sayfitdin was asked a lot of questions. So bright was the result of his examination. Kiyma also had an excellent barbecue.
It turned out that the young master of the barbecue has long earns in one of the teahouses Mahalla in Tashkent. A teahouse in the mahalla - a special culinary school. This person gets a pompous restaurant a couple of times a year. A tea-house come to dinner, dinner often. Moreover, in the same chaikhana and almost the same visitors.
Sayfitdin Alikulov also received by Akbar Umarov invitation to the Association of Chefs of Uzbekistan. This master must take a training course on the world-class chefs and represent the Republic abroad.
Dozens of the most different dishes lie and lie on the table in front of examiners. The examination board is not simple. Do you want-not, you should be sure to separate and eat a small piece of each dish to evaluate its merits and demerits.
Nearby, on a couch in dastarkhan area restaurants Buyuk Ipak Yuli going handed examination material:
