In this special Diwali-themed IOL Food magazine, we have taken a holistic look at how to celebrate this year – from the health impact and the food choices you need to make to tackling how different it is to celebrate Diwali in these Covid-19 times. We have curated recipes that will add something new and different to your menu this year. Foodies give us their favourite recipes and the twists they have come up with to add something special. No celebration is complete without beverages and so we have sourced some of the most delicious and modern takes on traditional recipes. We have also found the cool ways that Gen-Zers have taken the traditional Diwali menu, turned it on its head to make their favourite dishes. As the festivities begin in a few days, I hope this edition of the IOL Food magazine inspires you. It’s a magazine curated with love and with you in mind.
