Return to the Rivers: Recipes and Memories of the Himalayan River Valleys
Product ID: 61470319
Return to the Rivers is an incredible collection of recipes, photos, and memories as a means to preserve and share the sacred foodways, values, and simple gifts of friendship that the Himalayan people bestowed Khanna. Exploring the regions the great Himalayas directly touch upon - Bhutan, Nepal, Tibet, Northern India, Myanmar, Western China, Pakistan - Khanna was met with immeasurable kindness and hospitality. The dishes are beautifully simple and appealing, such as Eggplant Fritters with Ginger, Spinach and Cheese Momos, Chile-Scallion Buckwheat Noodles, Nepalese Black Lentils and Rice, Burmese Fish Noodle Soup, Pressed Rice with Yogurt and Almonds, and Tibetan Scallion Pancakes. Nominated for both a James Beard Award and the IACP Cookbook Award. Review: One for my husband ! - Good cookbook Review: An amazing gastronomical journey through sacred lands. - Not realizing this book had not yet released, I purchased this just looking for a simple cookbook to try by the noted Chef/Author, wanting to expand my own culinary collection. You will not be disappointed as this is likely his best work yet. Visually stunning with amazing photos, detailed descriptions of his vast journeys through ancient, sacred and oft-forgotten lands, you get an amazing first-hand account of the beautiful history and culture of the Himalayan people and what ties us all together - food. Simple, beautiful dishes that can be followed by anyone. It's not your average cook-book for sure. And with an endorsement by HH the Dalai Lama, you can't go wrong.
