Even years prior to the pandemic, culinary therapy which focuses on the mental and physical health benefits of cooking, and its mind and body connection, had already been a great help for many people around the world to cope with stressful situations.
Cooking in this sense keeps us connected with our loved ones, with our culture, but most importantly with ourselves. However, familiar concepts like comfort food, getting hangry, as well as following certain dietary disciplines can still cause one so much stress and pressure and altogether take away your pleasure from cooking.
In this episode, Lily is going to help us -- both from personal experience as well as from the testimonies of her virtual Dishmeetup community -- learn how a whole new perspective towards cooking for oneself, following no rules or standards but your own, and not worrying about what others have to say about it, can be extremely beneficial for your own mental health and overall happiness.
