Cover Story | With pop-up restaurants, chefs discover the joys of cooking flexible, seasonal menus

A pandemic-prompted wave of pop-up kitchens has now become a creative way for independent chefs and edgy restaurants to travel, experiment and connect with diners

Arun Velekkat writes: Last year, when the country was cautiously emerging from the grips of the pandemic, a new wave of cooking was being ushered in from kitchens across the country. Though pop-­up restaurants are not new, their origins can be traced back to the US Prohibition-­era “supper clubs”, they are having a resurgence.

Cover story | Pieces of Partition: Documenting the world's largest migration through objects

Relics from the largest migration in the history of mankind — ranging from jewellery, phulkari and watches to furniture, letters and utensils — carry the weight of 15 million refugees who survived chaos and separation. These objects are now being documented by the Punjab Digital Library (PDL), Partition Museum of Amritsar, and the digital Museum of Material Memory (MMM).

Amarjot Kaur Virdi writes: My first memory of the 1947 Partition is a borrowed one, of a James Hinks and Son oil lamp that sits next to my grandfather’s unframed, monochromatic photograph (dated September 3, 1933) with Thakar & Co, Karachi engraved on it. My grandmother, or biji as we called her, would always begin her Partition story with the lamp’s missing handle, which broke accidently on the day she left Karachi with her husband and a five-year-old daughter. She was six months pregnant then.
