Foods & Flavors from Nepal | Jyoti Pathak

A bit late with February‘s #FoodandLit update. I made momos. They taste good but I‘m still having trouble getting them to look as nice and uniform as shown in the cookbook. #Nepal @Catsandbooks @Texreader

A very good but disturbing story about a girl from Nepal forced into the sex trade in India.

The Eight Mountains: A Novel | Paolo Cognetti

pick

Two boys, Pietro the city boy from Milan and Bruno a country boy, become lifelong friends in the mountains of #Italy. Pietro has a complicated relationship with his father, and as adults Bruno develops a much better relationship with Pietro‘s father, creating an unusual but ultimately a stronger bond between Pietro and Bruno following the father‘s death, even when Pietro moves away to #Nepal. A slow, contemplative book in the shadow of the ⬇️

Texreader Italian Alps and Nepal‘s Himalayan mountains. I saw the movie first and I think that made this a harder read. The movie was very good and followed the book closely. I liked the movie better. #foodandlit #Nepal #Italy #jubilee @Catsandbooks (edited) 2w

Breathless | Amy McCulloch

Lunch today was my slightly delayed Momos & a few other Indian/Napalese dishes for my review of the tagged book (see tagged book post before this one) for #FoodAndLit #Nepal

I tried:
-Momo-dumplings of ground chicken, greens & spices & tangy tomato dipping sauce
-Himalayan naan-stuffed with spinach & shredded chicken tikka
Sides of dal (Nepali yellow lentils in ginger, garlic & tomatoes), Himalayan Mash Potato (curry & peas), raita & rice.😋

Texreader, Catsandbooks

DebinHawaii All of it was delicious (& I have enough left for a couple more meals) but the mashed potato & stuffed naan were my faves! 3w

Kathmandu Killers: International Detectives book 1 | Luke Richardson

pick

A rich Brit hires Leo, an unlikely detective who started a website when his girlfriend went missing, to find his long lost daughter. She‘s drawn some money from her trust while in Kathmandu, so that‘s where Leo goes first. The first half of this book is well written and plotted. It goes to heck when the typos start and keep coming, and the writing deteriorates. On the one hand, the descriptions of #Nepal are excellent—the author is well- ⬇️

Texreader traveled and it shows. On the other hand, the daughter‘s charitable work is just dropped as if it were the least important part of her life—which makes no sense to the storyline, and the same is true for the dropped storyline about Leo‘s missing girlfriend. It‘s like the author plane forgot what he was writing about. For a strong start and a lackluster ending, this is barely a pick. #foodandlit @Catsandbooks #letterK #litsyatoz (edited) 3w
