Spices : You can see them on every corner of the street right in the heart of Kathmandu.  The smell and taste of the spices is an integral part of the life of Nepal. Ever wondered what are the names of all of the spices and more importantly to which dishes they are added? What are the origins of Nepalese cooking and where you can find the best ingredients?

The Taste of Spice is a unique chance to become familiar with the whole realm of the spices used in the Nepalese kitchen. What are the traditional dishes and the misconception about it? How is has changed over the years and what has remained untouched. How the spices intertwine with the everyday life of the people. How to shop on the market looking for the bargains and make the most of the trip.
