Locomotoring

Summer of 2009, we were in Leh and Thikse was one of the first monastery we had visited. Imagine my surprise when I caught a glimpse of Thikse again, this time in Berkeley. This was another gem of a finding at the Cultured Pickle Shop.

Cultured Pickle had a few books at the serving table. And one of them was Elysian Kitchens. It caught my eye and I flipped through the recipes. I came across the poppy seed tsampa pancakes with apricot syrup, a recipe from the monks of Thikse monastry. I could not be more intrigued!
