Like the depth and breadth of timmur's taste and use, Nepal's food culture is deeply complex and diverse. Its richness reflects the country's ethnic and cultural diversity, its varied topography, and its cross-border influences. Unfortunately, Nepali cuisine is often narrowly defined both outside the country and inside, failing to capture the unique culinary heritage of a myriad of ethnicities that call this country home.
This book attempts to introduce, celebrate, and promote the cuisines of various regions and cultures of Nepal. Within these pages are stories and histories of more than a hundred different recipes from across Nepal, including those the author grew up with.
