Nadiya Hussain was born and brought up in Britain but her family is from Bangladesh. Recently she made a surprise discovery about her DNA that led her first to visit Thailand and Cambodia. Now, on the last leg of her travels, she takes a trip to the remote Himalayan country of Nepal to learn more about its people, places and food as part of her adventure to further explore her identity. Her journey begins in Kathmandu, where she joins a supper club run by local young foodies who share with her the vastly varied cuisine of their country - from the yak butter devoured by Sherpas in the mountains, to the snails eaten in the southern flood plains. Nadiya then heads to Bhaktapur, a historic city devastated by the earthquake of 2015 that affected eight million people in Nepal. There she meets Rotna, a potter whose home was destroyed. He is set on saving enough money to rebuild it, and to do this he has joined forces with his wife and daughter in a new venture to sell the city's speciality yoghurt in his own handmade pots, which Nadiya tries making. Gaining entry to a closed abbey, Nadiya meets a sect of Buddhist nuns who preach female empowerment and practise kung fu. Inspired by her travels Nadiya makes a dish for the class to say thank you. Next, Nadiya, conquers her fear of small planes to make it to the Annapurna mountains, where she meets her guide Vidya, who was born and raised more than two and a half thousand metres above sea level. Vidya takes Nadiya on her first trek to the village of Thini, where her relatives welcome them with drinks and snacks to restore them after their walk. Her final destination is a party for a charity that helps children afflicted by the civil war that tore the country apart over a ten-year period.
