dishoom loves
February is in full swing, with earliest inklings of lighter mornings and springtime flowerings. This month also marks the start of Ramadan – a period of dawn-to-dusk fasting, worship, acts of kindness, shared joy and abundant feasts with loved ones – observed by Muslims across the world. Join us as we honour the traditions of the holy month through bountiful food, meaningful connection and literary inspiration.
The Ramadan Kitchen, a collection of cherished family recipes from Ilhan Mohamed Abdi for the holy month and beyond. Ease into earlier mornings as your home gently stirs awake with soul-satisfying staples like Fasooliyad (Spiced Beans) and Sareen (Barley Porridge). At sundown, sate hunger over toothsome iftar feasts replete with sweet treats. And come Eid, a most-handsome spread awaits…
Musly, a community for those all over the world with Muslim roots. Members come together online in a thoughtfully curated space for moments of connection, to share aspirations and nurture thriving community. Join candlelit dinners and gatherings with like-minded individuals. Meet travel partners, enrich careers and (if so inclined) invite romance to spark.
UDSI, a modern alternative to traditional oud burning. Embrace the traditions of your forebears by lighting charcoal or imbue spaces with rich fragrance and ceremony by igniting a tea-light beneath special hand-blended bakhoor (incense). Heady with essential oils, for moments of serenity, prayer and meditation.
Once Upon An Eid, a most-joyous book of short stories about Eid, to enchant little and big minds alike. Deepen children’s wonder or spark your own nostalgia with 15 tales of culture and tradition from talented Muslim authors. Replete with a poem, graphic-novel chapter, and spot illustrations, these pages are sure to delight.
Islamic Reflections, a conversation-starting card game to encourage contemplation on Islamic identity. Welcome in self-reflection during Ramadan by meditating on different elements of faith. Embark on meaningful conversations with nearests and dearests, or dip in alone for peaceful ponderings.
HAMLET, an electrifying reimagining, set in the world of a British South Asian family in contemporary London. Directed by Aneil Karia, starring Riz Ahmed. Settle into your local cinema for the first-ever film portrayal of a non-white Hamlet in Shakespeare’s original verse. Applauded with much acclaim at film festivals around the globe, this fresh and radical take will hold you spellbound.
