The Jews of Central Asia: history and cuisine
Online article from the Jerusalem Post in which chef Dennis Wasko explores the history of the Bukharian Jews of today's Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, including their cuisine.
A recipe for Bukharian Plov (a chicken and rice dish) is included!
I think as for today the better book on the Jews of Central Asia is Gitlin Semyon, 2008 The historical fate of the Jews of Central Asia [Гитлин, Семен, 2008, Исторические судьбы евреев Средней Азии]
This book is in Russian, but it has very comprehensive summary in English.
