Trick of the trade Cook with love and passion. Food Hero My mother and aunty. Food memory When I was about nine or ten we were in lake town Pokhara from where you can see the whole range of Annapurna mountain range. Every weekend, fishermen used to sell freshwater fish (similar to river trout). My mother used to fry cleaned whole fish, the size of a teaspoon, which was amazing. Indulgence Maple pecan plait with nice cup of Barry’s tea. Utensil of choice Wok with lid. Overrated Souffle. Wish I knew... How to fillet a fish. Trend worth noting Fermented vegetables. Best meal When I was a young girl, we were travelling to attend a religious festival on some riverbank. There, I had flat rice with fresh mustard shoots stir fry, very simple, yet the most satisfying dish. Hunger is the best spice. Table for two Candle lit dinner at home with Monty’s takeaway.
