關於吉爾吉斯 ABOUT KYRGYZSTAN
「中亞的瑞士」吉爾吉斯共和國，通稱吉爾吉斯，位於壯闊的中亞，被天山和帕米爾山脈所環繞，被稱為「世界距離海洋最遠的國家」之一。是歷史愛好者、探險者和旅行者的理想目的地。
首都比什凱克是該國最大城市，而吉爾吉斯族是主要民族，佔總人口的大多數，還有少數的烏茲別克族和俄羅斯族。
吉爾吉斯的歷史豐富多彩，跨越兩千年，承載著多元文化和不同帝國的痕跡。儘管地理上受到高山環抱，但它長期以來一直是絲綢之路等商業通道的交匯處。從突厥游牧民族到蒙古帝國，再到蘇聯，吉爾吉斯坦歷經多次統治。1991年蘇聯解體後，吉爾吉斯建立了民主政府，但仍受蘇聯時期的影響。許多蘇聯時代的建築、紀念碑和文化符號至今仍留存，彰顯其歷史見證。即使蘇聯已經解體，但其影響仍然深遠，蘇聯時代的生活方式在當代吉爾吉斯社會中仍然有所體現。
The Kyrgyz Republic, often referred to as Kyrgyzstan, is situated in vast Central Asia, surrounded by the Tien Shan and Pamir mountain ranges. It's known as one of the "farthest countries from the sea" in the world, making it an ideal destination for history enthusiasts, adventurers, and travelers.
The capital city, Bishkek, is the largest in the country, with the Kyrgyz people being the predominant ethnic group, along with smaller populations of Uzbeks and Russians.
Kyrgyzstan boasts a rich and diverse history spanning over two millennia, bearing the traces of various cultures and empires. Despite its geographical isolation due to mountainous terrain, it has long served as a crossroads for commercial routes like the Silk Road. From Turkic nomadic tribes to the Mongol Empire and later the Soviet era, Kyrgyzstan has undergone multiple periods of rule. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Kyrgyzstan established a democratic government, yet it continues to be influenced by its Soviet past. Many architectural landmarks, monuments, and cultural symbols from the Soviet era still stand today, serving as testament to its historical legacy. Even though the Soviet Union has collapsed, its influence remains profound, with remnants of Soviet-era lifestyles still evident in contemporary Kyrgyz society.
關於吉爾吉斯沙木薩 SAMSA | ABOUT BESH BARMAK
沙木薩是中亞的傳統美食，在塔吉克、烏茲別克、哈薩克、吉爾吉斯等地都有其蹤跡。其名源自中古波斯語，意指「三角麵團」。據推測，它可能在10世紀左右首次出現在中亞。沙木薩有各地不同的版本，而吉爾吉斯通常是以烘烤的方式製作，內餡則多樣豐富
Samsa is a traditional delicacy in Central Asia, found in Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and beyond. Its name originates from Middle Persian, meaning "triangular pastry." It is speculated to have first appeared in Central Asia around the 10th century. Samsa has various regional versions, with Kyrgyzstan typically baking it and filling it with a diverse range of ingredients.

體驗製作和專業料理課程的差別：
體驗製作活動著重於「與當地人或主講者的交流」，以及「大家一起準備餐桌的氛圍」。
就像和當地人一起在家中準備當天的晚餐一樣，每個人會分工準備，但我們並「不特別強調料理的學習」。
這與專業料理課程有所不同，專業課程更注重教導料理的製作技巧。如果您對學習如何製作異國料理有興趣，我們也有其他的料理課程供您選擇，或者您也可以隨時與我們聯絡！
What’s the difference between “Hands-on Experience” and a “Professional Cooking Class”?
In our hands-on experience events, the focus is on “interacting with local people or instructors” and creating a warm atmosphere of “preparing the table together.”
It’s similar to preparing a dinner with locals in their homes, where each person has different tasks, but we “do not specifically emphasize learning cooking skills.”
This is different from a professional cooking class, which places more emphasis on teaching the techniques of cooking. If you are interested in learning how to cook international cuisine, we have other cooking classes available for you to choose from, or you can always contact us anytime!”
場地狀況說明 Venue condition
體驗製作活動主要著重於讓參與者深入體驗當地文化，品嚐特色的異國美食。因此，現場並沒有像專業料理課程那樣的專業廚房，還請見諒。
The experiential cooking activity focuses primarily on providing participants with an immersive experience of local culture and the taste of unique international cuisines. Therefore, please understand that the venue does not have a professional kitchen like in a culinary course.
