Eating and cooking alone - Minisode
Where we unpack solitary hunger and the ways we make conscious our own needs and desires, along with the books that got us there.
The idea of cooking alone, of eating alone is an emotive one, in books, in conversations, in ourselves. As Rebecca May Johnson wrote about this beautifully in her book Small Fires (which we discussed in a recent episode).
“one of the things I find most challenging is cooking for myself because it means witnessing my own needs and desires and serving them”
This is essentially what we are talking about this mini-episode - about how different writers, cooks, and people witness their own needs and serve them or not.
We hope you’ve had a listen and enjoyed this episode, and below are the books we discussed plus a few extra links and a recipe for the above ‘feel better’ soup.
