About

Hi there! Welcome to NotAChef—a space created by a passionate home cook who believes food is about family, culture, and connection. The love for cooking began at home, where meals were made not from recipe books, but from memory, instinct, and the simple joy of feeding the people you care about.

Rooted in Nepali culture, the food shared here reflects everyday home-style cooking—from comforting dal-bhat to dishes made during festivals and family gatherings. These recipes aren’t about perfection or professional techniques; they’re about real food cooked in a real kitchen, using simple ingredients and time-honored flavors.

NotAChef is more than a recipe blog—it’s a collection of stories, traditions, and moments shared through food. Whether you’re familiar with Nepali cuisine or discovering it for the first time, this space invites you to cook with confidence, experiment freely, and enjoy the process.

Thank you for being here. Let’s cook, eat, and celebrate Nepali food—just the way it’s made at home. 🇳🇵🍛
