Paperback / Hardback

This book—Rohini’s third foray into the world of gastronomy—takes the reader through her encounters with Indian cuisine back in her childhood and later, recipes from the Rana heritage when she was a young bride in Nepal. In this book, she has tried to combine recipes from India and Nepal with the taste and flavours of cuisines encountered during her travels accompanying her husband on global postings. Rohini has woven these culinary memories into her craft, reviving the flavours of her childhood, recipes once nurtured by the khansamas of the British Raj, as well as forgotten and lost dishes of feudal India.

In Memories on a Platter, these treasured heritage culinary delights are combined with food prepared by the Bajais of Nepal’s Rana households and dishes from other parts of the world. Each of these beautiful recipes are either original or artfully marinated, sautéed, simmered and fused to harmonize with the modern palate and today’s lifestyle.

Rohini Rana

Rohini Rana, also known as Dolly, was born in India and married Gen. Gaurav S.J.B. Rana (former Chief of Army Staff, Nepal Army) in Nepal in 1977. During her meandering life as an army wife, she has played the part of a homemaker, social worker, entrepreneur, restaurateur and author. Cooking is her life’s passion and following that road she has authored two books: The Rana Cookbook: Recipes from the Palaces of Nepal (2021), which focuses on Nepalese heritage cuisine, and The Nepal Cookbook: 108 Regional Recipes (2024), which shines a light on traditional Nepali food of the main ethnic communities. Thanks to the success of these two books, which have been the recipients of multiple local and global awards, Rohini is on her third venture encompassing her culinary journey around the world with Memories on a Platter: My Fusion Cookbook.
