It´s not often I get an email from my Israeli cousin Dan (the Man). Having spent his honeymoon in November in Nepal, and knowing I was heading there for Christmas and New Year, he wrote ecstatically about “Fire and Ice,” a pizzeria in Kathmandu. He said they were the best pizzas in Asia, although he noted, they charged European prices.
Good (and expensive) as it was, we are somewhat spoiled for pizzas in the village. At least five restaurants boast their own wood-burning pizza oven. There are many excellent and often creative ones to chose from.
As for the best? Well, whilst the local community have decided not to celebrate Losar (Tibetan New Year), I have decided to make a collection of “The Best” awards for McLeod Ganj, (pizzas, curries, cakes, lassis, etc.) which I will release on the 25th February to mark Losar. Who will win this year´s prestigious Strawberries? Spookily enough, it ties in with the week that the Academy Awards are released. Now how exciting is that?
