«Between the covers of this book is an incredible adventure: the views, traditions, flavours and scents of the Himalayas are all there, and we could not ask for a better, more knowledgeable guide to take us to the ceiling of the world than Romy.»

Itamar Srulovich and Sarit Packer AKA Honey & Co.

«There's nowhere I'm more desperate to visit than Kashmir. Unfortunately, Kashmir is also one of the hardest places to visit on the planet. Until it becomes possible, Romy's enchanting book is the next best thing. A transporting work at a time we all need transporting.»

Sathnam Sanghera

«On the Himalayan Trail beautifully showcases the splendour of Kashmir through delicious recipes, engaging stories and stunning photographs that bring its lakes, valleys and people to life. Wonderful too, to see the blanket term ‘Indian food’ being dismantled by a book that delves deep into a region which deserves to be celebrated for its rich and unique culinary heritage.»

Ravinder Bhogal

«Romy Gill’s curiosity and warmth have produced a thrilling book that expands the mind and promises some great meals.»

Sheila Dillon

«Romy really takes her readers on a journey they’ve most likely not made before. In sharing her passion for the people, places and produce of Kashmir, Romy’s appetite for this lesser-known part of India – its ingredients, its recipes, its stories – becomes quite contagious. The lamb! The lotus root! All the savoury quince and saffron-infused dishes: this is a cuisine I certainly want to know more about.»

Yotam Ottolenghi

«Travelling through glittering lakes and icy mountain passes, this is a fascinating, beguiling and delectable journey into the heart of Jammu and Kashmir.»
