Artful Life Play Shop Series The Art of Sensory Cook and Sensible Scrapping

From the sound of sizzling spices, the texture and delightful aromas of fresh vegetables, to the abundant colors that fill up our plates, and the satisfaction as we take the first bite, cooking is a multi-sensory creative experience that allows us to engage and connect with our minds and bodies. In this Playshop - a part of Essinova's Artful Life Series - you will take a culinary journey through your senses to create colorful and flavorful dishes, using fresh, seasonal ingredients and everyday spices. You may also come away with fun artworks made of peels and scraps. All natural and nothing wasted! Led by Shalini Singh and Hojat Mohseni. This video is the on-demand version adapted from the session recordings of our live playshop series for you to benefit at your own leisure. It would be best enjoyed by having the ingredients and kitchen equipment (see a suggested list at 00:00:14) ready to make your dish, following along! 00:00:00 Welcome and session overview by BeiBei Song 00:03:18 Artist Q&A by Anu Sanghvi 00:10:38 Session presentation - The Art of Sensory Cooking 00:13:00 Salad dressing 00:21:00 Salad ingredients 00:32:48 Salad plating 00:42:24 Session presentation - Art from Food Scraps 00:47:33 Food scrap art Exercise 1 - Make a face 00:50:31 Food scrap art Exercise 2 - Write something 00:51:58 Food scrap art Exercise 3 - Free form - go crazy! 00:54:21 Participant dish and artwork showcase, reflections, and wrap-up This initiative is part of Essinova’s mission to nourish our soul and help humans develop their full potential by aligning head, heart and hand, and by integrating art with life and work.
