Cooking can sometime feel like a chore, or something we have to be uber fancy with. But cooking can be a portal to mindful joy, through an explosion of the senses experiencing sweet and salty tastes, the sound of crispy veg, the colour of spices, the smell of garlic. It can be part of our daily routine that sets us up or practicing joy, relaxation, fun and delight.
