Rastriya Prajatantra Party leader Pashuspati Shumsher Rana made public the lavishly illustrated book that showcases the magnificent foods from the palaces of Nepal.

After launching the book, Rana said, “The author has presented an excellent sample of what we used to eat at my grandfather’s neoclassical palace or at her grandfather-in-law’s Baber Mahal.

Writer Rana said that she has published the book with the aim of documenting the cuisines of Ranas and making them popular around the world.

The Ranas had ruled Nepal for 104 years until 1951.

The book is published by Penguine Publication.

Author Rana said she was planning to sell the book in America, Australia, England and other countries.
