Dehradun is gearing up for a unique celebration of food, culture and storytelling as the Dehradun Food Literature Festival 2026 returns bigger and richer on 1st March at Monsoon — the city’s vibrant culinary hub. After the overwhelming success of its first edition, this year’s festival promises to deepen the conversation around food, writing and cultural heritage while bringing together writers, chefs, food lovers and storytellers from across the region.
At its core, the Food Literature Festival isn’t just about tasting; it’s about understanding the stories behind what we eat. Expect panel discussions, live conversations and engaging sessions featuring food writers, historians, chefs and culinary commentators. Topics are likely to explore regional cuisines of Uttarakhand, forgotten recipes, food memoirs and how culinary traditions shape identity and community.
In addition to thought-provoking discussions, the festival will feature interactive segments, book readings and curated tasting experiences. Hosted at Monsoon, known for its contemporary yet regionally inspired cuisine, the event aims to blend dialogue with flavour — making it a feast for both the mind and palate.
Whether you’re a passionate foodie, an avid reader or someone curious about the cultural journey of ingredients and recipes, the Dehradun Food Literature Festival 2026 invites you to savour, learn and connect in a space where literature meets the kitchen.
