Plant Based Himalaya with Babita Shrestha
Team, we’re a couple years into this podcast already—approaching our third Christmas Episode! One amazing surprise which we never saw coming is being targeted by publicists and agents eager to get their stars on our show! I imagine Johnny Carson felt very similar to how we feel now… Or something like it.
Today, we are absolutely delighted to present to you an amazingly self made woman. (Yes, she appears much younger than your children, but she’s actually pretty close to our age!)
Babita comes from one of those rare villages in modern life, so ubiquitous in the developing world with hard-baked Nepalese mud floors and kerosene burners for cooking. And, that is in fact, how Babita learned to cook by her grandfather’s side. Her mother, who made her living caring for the Hong Kong elite, observed a talent for combining flavor and cuisine in Babita, and soon taught her traditionally. War broke out. They moved to Kathmandu. And Babita found herself seeking a new future.
Listen in amazement as she tells the story of how she became an art and film student studying in Minnesota, and now a Barnes and Nobles best selling cook book author.
Babita Shrestha is a plant-based chef, photographer, graphic designer, and the author of "Plant-based Himalaya".
As the oldest child of the family, it was her responsibility to cook and it quickly grew into a true passion. Later, as an entrepreneur, she started Vegan Nepal in Lexington, Kentucky in 2017. In 2019, Babita put her full focus on her passion project, a beautifully photographed cookbook titled “Plant-Based Himalaya”.
Every recipe, photo, illustration, and even layout is of her own fabrication. Featuring 250 beautiful full-color photos, ‘Plant-Based Himalaya,’ is designed to inspire you to cook and eat exquisitely vegan home-style Nepali cuisine. Make it exceptional, and share it with your loved ones!
