"Mindfulness is everything"

"When it comes to cooking, the kitchen can be a nightmare!"

"This kind of guilt that we've built into food, cooking, and all of these things, can get unpacked."

By definition we all need to eat; this is all but a language that we all know and understand. But what about the world of disability, and how that intersects with the world of culinary culture?

In The Aut-Cuisine Podcast. journalist and speaker Lydia Wilkins speaks to a range of guests to explore the intersection of food and disability culture in greater depth; each theme is a different conversation, and will deal with a litany of themes. From cooking with a chronic illness and needing to unpack weighted expectations and teaching individuals how to be self sufficient, to sensory issues in the kitchen and an exploration of why the wellness industry is not for everyone, The Aut-Cuisine Podcast is a conversational curation, one-off podcast.
