Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Black-eyed pea curry (Bodi ko tarkaari)

    • stepharama1 on May 11, 2023

      We all enjoyed this curry and I will probably make it again - although there are so many curries in the world to chose from. If you like a hot curry, then increase the spicing. The recipe, if followed exactly, yields a mild, but nicely savory dish with lovely notes of fenugreek.

  • Stir-fried cabbage (Banda govi taareko)

    • thekitchenchronicles on June 23, 2013

      Very tasty dish with the perfect balance of spices.

  • Spicy zucchini with mustard seeds (Hariyo pharsi ko tarkaari)

    • kitchen_chick on June 27, 2023

      Nice easy zucchini side dish. I used two-three times as much ginger because we love ginger. If you slice the zucchini really thinly, then reduce the cooking time otherwise the zucchini will start to disintegrate.

  • Stir-fried chicken thighs (Kukhura taareko)

    • jenmacgregor18 on January 09, 2019

      I had just a little over a pound of chx breast. I scaled down the rest of ingredients; possibly a little too much. There was enough marinade for the chicken; but not much left by the time I added the onion. Even with all my changes this had a really good flavor. I love fenugreek. I enjoyed the leftovers at lunch too. Next time, I'll have to try as written.

Gourmand World Cookbook Award for Best Foreign Cuisine Cookbook

The landlocked nation of Nepal is tucked into the Himalayan Mountains between India and China (Tibet). Possessed of a varied landscape and such treasures as Mount Everest, the Nepalese are proud of their time-worn temples, sublime scenery, hiking trails, and a rich and vibrant culture. The cuisine is surprisingly diverse for such a small country, with influences from Chinese and Indian culinary methods and tastes.

One of the very few Nepali cookbooks on the market, Taste of Nepal is a thorough and comprehensive guide to this cuisine, featuring more than 350 authentic recipes, a section on well-known Nepali herbs and spices, menu planning, Nepalese kitchen equipment, and delightful illustrations. Instructions are clearly detailed and most ingredients are readily available in the United States. Complete with illustrations.

There is something for everyone in this book. For the most timid cook - Fried Rice (Baasi-Bhaat Bhutuwa) or Stir-Fried Chicken (Kukhura Taareko) are easily achievable. The adventurous home chef will be tempted to try Goat Curry (Khasi-Boka ko Maasu) and Sun-Dried Fish with Tomato Chutney (Golbheda ra Sidra Maacha).
