At dhoop we use food as a lens. Through this lens, we interrogate culture, sustainability, design, and the systems that sustain life. We started as a magazine focused on stories of food and its intersections. Over time, we have grown into something more expansive—a space and a research platform that embraces the multidisciplinary nature of food and invites collaboration and deeper enquiry.

why does the world need another food magazine?
why does the world need another food magazine?
The world needs enough spaces to share their unique versions of looking at food – this ranges from cooking, rituals, traditions, heritage, culture to technology, design, futures and much more. More diverse platforms facilitate more diverse discourse. And with dhoop, the intention is to become a space where we can critically talk about food systems and learn/unlearn how we look at food.

why a physical magazine over a digital publication/video content?
why a physical magazine over a digital publication/video content?
Editing and producing a physical magazine challenges what we understand as content – it compels us to think critically about the topic – through writing yes, but also through design. As one flips the pages of the magazine, one is on a journey that cannot be replicated online through a digital publication or a short-form video (of course, this is not always true).

how do you sustain a physical magazine in 2026?
how do you sustain a physical magazine in 2026?
We stock at multiple bookstores across India and the US, which helps us cover a part of our printing costs. Unfortunately, all other costs are borne by us.In the coming years, we hope to find more like-minded people to work with through collaborations and editorials — think issues with chefs, artists, or researchers who share our food-systems lens.
We also want the magazine to be on the shelves of more homes and in the hands of more readers!
