Mum reviewed this cookbook for me:

A great and very informative review of the book, thanks for sharing

Steve

I liked the book Steve. The recipes worked, except for minor omissions. It something I might buy as a gift.

I have a Nepalese cook book, with traditional recipes. After seeing the prawns on the cover of this one, I wonder if this book is not just a cookbook written by a Nepalese, rather than one of Nepalese food? After all, Nepal is a long way from the sea!

Mamta did you come across any recipes with bamboo shoot (tama), they use it a lot in curries both veg and non-veg.

No I didn't Rajneesh.

I looked in my Rajasthani cook-book too, it isn't there. When I was in a boarding school in Pilani, more than half a century ago, we used to get bamboo pickle sometimes with a meal and sometimes with a mathari snack; it was delicious. I must ask my SIL who lives in Jaipur, if she makes anything out of green bamboo. She cooks a lot of traditional Rajasthani dishes.

Hi Mamta, bamboo shoot pickle is available in dehradun, pickle shop in (paltan bazaar)....the strong appetising smell in the shop gives me goosepimples!!

Hello rajneesh

I will be going to Roorkee one day soon, but won't have time to go to Dehradun. It is a short trip only to see my mum. Anyway, pickles are not allowed in by customs these day I think, unless they are tinned.
