Talisman of good Fortune and other stories from rural Bhutan. Author: Rinzin Rinzin
The talisman of Good Fortune and Other stories from Rural Bhutan is a collection of nine fictitious short stories based on rural
Bhutanese culture, beliefs and norms. The stories take the reader through some of most simple beliefs and lives , of the lay
Buddhist rural Bhutanese in particular, and most Bhutanese in general , to the most complex and eerie but equally fascinating
world of The Poison givers , person with the Evil Spirit of the living, person who cast Evils Spells, and what the authors calls ‘the
clandestine Foes.’ The stories provide the reader a good insight of the ‘least known[to the out side world] and the ‘least written’ side
of the rural Bhutanese life. Furthermore, the stories are highly thought provoking.

Chilli and Cheese - Food and society in Bhutan ; Author Kunzang Choden
It’s hard to imagine Bhutan without the ubiquitous chili. But there was a time when Bhutanese cuisine did not have this fiery
vegetable cum spice.
Chili is not endemic to the Himalayas; it originated in South America and arrived in Asia 400 to 500 years ago. It’s introduction to
the Himalayas may have been even more recent.
This is how “Chili in Bhutanese cuisine,” a chapter from the book “Chilli and Cheese” begins. While it does not go on to answer when
the chili was introduced in Bhutan, it elaborates on the use of the vegetable in Bhutanese food, the types of chili available in the
country, its distribution, care, preservation and other aspects, such as burning it to ward off spirits and applying its powder to where it
hurt most on adulterous women.

Chilli and Cheese is the latest offering by Kunzang Choden, one of Bhutan’s well-known woman writers, and the first by a Bhutanese
to document Bhutanese food culture. It is an account of personal experiences and perspectives of food and beverages in Bhutanese
society and an attempt to understand Bhutanese culture through its food habits.
Written from a personal point of view in a simple matter of fact style, that sometimes tends to reminisce of ‘days gone by’, its focus is
on documenting traditional food customs that the author fears are disappearing fast.
