The Rana Cookbook: Recipes from the Palaces of Nepal launched

Authored by Rohini Rana, The Rana Cookbook: Recipes from the Palaces of Nepal was launched recently in the capital. The book is a labour of love and painstaking research done by the author over three decades and published by Penguin Random House India. This book does justice to a previously unknown area of Nepali cuisine and is being recognised as a worthy addition to the compendium of South Asian cookbooks. The author took on the project when she realised that the old Rana recipes would die a natural death if not documented and the cookbook is a gastronomic flashback into the Rana era kitchens.
