To celebrate and appreciate the roles and responsibilities shouldered by the womenfolk in Bhutanese households, the children, brothers and husbands are encouraged to set aside one day in the week to cook something special for their womenfolk. And to equip them with the basic know-how of cooking, Britannia Cheese in partnership with Zoom Out Publishing launched ‘Let’s cook for Ama’ cookbook series yesterday coinciding with Children’s Day celebrations in Bhutan.
Education Minister Jai Bir Rai launched the series.
‘Let’s cook for Ama’ is the first cookbook series featuring Bhutanese cuisine in a fun, easy to follow, engaging story format. The cookbook will help children bring together families to cook together for the mother.
The series has five stories featuring five special cuisines from different regions of the country. The books will be available in both digital and PDF versions and will be shared through the Facebook Page: @letscookforama. And with support of Britannia, printed versions of the books will be distributed to 20 schools in remote parts of the country along with Britannia Gift Hampers.
