Issue XI, December

The festive season is about to hit its stocking-clad stride. And while we’ll be Christmas jumper-wearing, mince pie eating and last-minute shopping, we’ll be keeping a close eye out. Here’s our list of things to do in December (in between sips of Chai eggnog).

We’re feeling proud reading:—

These Delicious Things, a cookbook filled with nostalgic stories of childhood, and delicious recipes from the UK’s top foodies, including our very own Chef Naved. All to support children living in food poverty.

Tuck in

We’re gifting our loved ones with:—

Anisha Parmar’s glinting new Jāli collection of jewellery and homeware. Anisha’s designs speak to her three-continent-spanning heritage, and this collection is inspired by the ornamental Jāli building facades found in South Asia.

Be wowed

We’re shaking off labels with:—

Bollyqueer, a dance company made by and for queer people. Escape the binary and embrace the joy of Bollywood at their free dance class, shaking and shimmying as the beautiful person you are.

Get dancing

We’re clutching our sides at:—

The latest show from India’s biggest stand-up comedian (and the first to win an Emmy), Vir Das. He’ll wow you with incisive insights and perfect comic timings, and win you over with unexpected vulnerability.
