The cooking is seemingly ordinary. What made this issue particularly interesting was exploring how cooking interacts with the scope of dhoop’s bigger picture. We aren’t just talking about cooking in isolation, we are talking about how cooking interacts and engages with nature, culture, sustainability, and design.

Commensality: The Act of Eating Together
What does eating together mean to you? Is it sharing meals with family? Fighting with friends over that last bite? Or leaving the last bite as a gesture of love? Maybe togetherness is felt through that unopened bottle of nani’s pickle, a taste of home. Or is eating together divisive? A reason for exclusion, a source of division? Or is eating together an act? The one which stops you from licking the rajma off the plate outside home. Maybe eating with some people is more pleasurable than eating with others, maybe eating alone in the company of the characters on screen is all the company you need.

dhoop uses 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.

Issue 03: Cooking
This issue expands our understanding of cooking—as a practice, sure, but perhaps more importantly, as an understanding, as a language, as a memory, and in transit.
