To close the 2023 edition of Food Dialogues, chef Riyaz Mir of Masala Dola and Tastes of Kashmir, together with the Food Dialogues team, and representatives of a diversity of faith-based organisations, invite members of the public to break bread around the theme of food, faith and service.
Chef Riyaz will prepare a feast of dishes from multiple faiths that will form the basis of the evening’s enquiry. Guests will dine their way through dishes from Islamic, Christian, Jewish and Hindu practice, learning about the origins and cultural significance of these dishes, whilst exploring the connections between food and faith, food and service, and the ways in which service is built into spiritual practice as a way of being and not simply a way of doing.
As Mandela Day volunteering takes place the next day across the country, the dinner is an opportunity to reflect on our collective attitude to service, and share insights into the micro and macro service modes that exist in daily faith-based practices.
The dinner takes place at Makers Landing at the V&A Waterfront.
The food served will be Kosher and Halaal. No alcohol will be served.
