Design in food
Feel closeness with the aesthetics
Do you perceive beauty in what you eat? I am drawn to vitality and have got a great respect for cooking one-pot meals. Born and brought up in Northern India, I moved out of my country at the age of 17. Perhaps, away from my mum’s food has made me obsessed with some of her simple, nutritious recipes.
Just as we have a sense of smell and sight and hearing we also have a sense of aesthetic taste. Just sometimes it doesn’t speak to you.
David Hume, Scottish philosopher
The specialty being invisible:
Every region in India has a different way of preparing a particular dish known as ‘Khichdi’. The purpose, intent behind planning out the process results in an exciting texture, color, aroma, and taste. The pleasing blend of grains think best for you and celebrates the triumph of being together by providing a delightful experience.
Meal prep also includes a specific Indian herb, ‘cumin seeds’ which gives out a comfy, instinctive flavor with a bit of both sweetness and bitterness.
How often you appreciate taste aesthetics? Because being in touch with our aesthetics, makes or breaks our long term relationship with things and the people. You cannot be wrong about your aesthetic beliefs, and once you are in tune with the senses; it plays a dominant role in making us feel safe.
Fun Fact: the designer in me wants to convert this strong empowering scent of cumin seeds into a phenomenal everyday perfume! ONE DAY :)
