Mindful eating

Taking time to cook more ambitiously or to cook a meal slowly is a luxury that can be enjoyed on weekends, or to unwind during the week after a long, busy day.

Really investing in the preparing and cooking of a meal is an opportunity to ground yourself and truly be in the moment, taking care and paying attention to details. 

Washing and cutting ingredients, tasting and adjusting the balance of flavours, textures, and seasoning all require full attention. Cooking is one of the easiest ways to practice mindfulness. 

Take a moment to think about your food – where it came from, how it was grown, what it cost the earth to produce it – and appreciate what is given to you.
