A workshop exploring the relationship between cooking, comfort, and care
‘Cooking and Care’ is a project which aims to understand how cooking and providing food helps us care for ourselves and others. In our workshop, participants are encouraged to bake something (with suggestions from us) and engage in conversation; What does cooking mean to you? How can food be an expression of love or care? Has our relationship with cooking changed during the pandemic? We will also be completing drawings and paintings, which will form a virtual cookbook of our recipes and creations.
This here is the recipe we will be using so please follow this one if possible. Please also bring along any of the following: paper, paints, pencils, pens.
