                                Sat crossed legged at a local home, I am presented with a small banana leaf basket, inside which is a soft creamy food, fresh in smell and soft in texture. It’s Amoke Trei, or fish amok, and if anything can be said to be the national dish of...

Nepal is, to my mind, one of the most beautiful and delicious countries in the world. Amazing mountain views, a food that blends influences from seemingly a hundred different cultural groups into a delicious mix of spices and tastes, and some of the most incredible temples in the world.
