In Lhasa, Xizang, a chef and host runs a cozy family kitchen where foreign travelers can become cooks for the day. They go on a short grocery run to gather fresh ingredients at the local wet market to discover Tibetan herbs, yak butter and colorful vegetables. Back at her kitchen, chef Langzhen guides her guests in preparing a dish called losar and learning the secrets of authentic Tibetan spice blends. For Langzhen, sharing her cooking means sharing her homeland, and every visitor who learns a Tibetan recipe gets to take a little taste of Lhasa home with them.
