The photography, the recipes and above all, the stories.‘Brilliant recipes, beautifully presented’ – Gillian at Fort KinnairdĪdored by our booksellers for its sumptuous design and stunning photography, Dishoom: From Bombay with Love is so much more than just a recipe book. Read it, and you will find yourself replete with recipes and stories to share with all who come to your table. This beautiful cookery book and its equally beautiful photography will transport you to Dishoom’s most treasured corners of an eccentric and charming Bombay. You’ll discover the simple joy of early chai and omelette at Kyani and Co., of dawdling in Horniman Circle on a lazy morning, of eating your fill on Mohammed Ali Road, of strolling on the sands at Chowpatty at sunset or taking the air at Nariman Point at night. As you learn to cook the comforting Dishoom menu at home, you will also be taken on a day-long tour of south Bombay, peppered with much eating and drinking.

That interaction may come from scribbling a thought in your journal, flipping through the dusty pages of a familiar book, or listening to the warm tone of your favorite record. We believe that thoughtful interaction with the world around us leads to a healthier life. We’re a team of writers, artists, musicians, designers, and DIYers who think the world is a little bit better when you slow down.
