About

Born from a shared thali

Dal bhat is eaten twice a day in most Nepali homes — the saying goes it gives you 'power for 24 hours'. We built the platform that plate deserves.

Our story

The recipe that started it

A founder in Kathmandu watched her mother's recipe travel by WhatsApp screenshots, each copy losing a step. She started Nepali Cuisines so real recipes — with real credit — could travel properly.

What we believe

Kitchen values

  • Authenticity first

    Real recipes from real kitchens, tagged with their true region — not fusion for its own sake.

  • Generosity

    Recipes are gifts. We credit cooks, protect their work, and keep sharing easy.

  • Regional pride

    Newari, Thakali, Terai, Himalayan — every kitchen tradition gets a home here.

  • Zero gatekeeping

    Anyone can post. No celebrity chef required, no 'authenticity police'.

Why this matters

If a recipe only lives in one head, it dies with that head. We are building a library of everything Nepal cooks. [CLIENT-COPY: confirm with client]
