WINNER GOURMAND COOKBOOK AWARD for Best Foreign Cuisine Cookbook
"Highly recommended: a 'must' for any serious international cookbook collection: there's simply nothing like it on the American market." --The Midwest Book Review
The landlocked nation of Nepal is tucked into the Himalayan mountains between India and Tibet. Nepali cuisine is surprisingly diverse for such a small country, with influences from both neighboring countries. In this cookbook, the popular staple daal-baat-tarkaari (rice served with lentils and vegetables) is showcased in all its healthful variations, as are a variety of potato, meat, and fish dishes.
With more than 350 authentic, easy-to-follow recipes, Taste of Nepal is a complete culinary journey with guides to Nepali ingredients, kitchen equipment, and planning traditional meals, a Nepali-English glossary of terms, and delightful illustrations by a Nepali artist.
