From Library Journal
It's probably safe to say that few libraries?or cooks?have a Tibetan cookbook on their shelves. Lhasa Moon is a Tibetan restaurant in San Francisco, and Wangmo, its owner, and writer Houshmand have put together a collection of 80 recipes that will serve as an introduction to Tibetan food for most readers. Chiles (lots of them), garlic, ginger, Szechuan peppercorns, and cilantro are favorite flavorings. Wangmo has modified some dishes for American tastes, created more vegetarian dishes than one typically finds in Tibetan cooking, and adapted recipes as necessary to Western ingredients. However, sidebars are careful to describe the authentic versions, and chapter introductions?and photographs and line drawings throughout?provide more context. For specialized international cookery collections and larger libraries.
