“I swear, that if you go over and you taste your pot of soup – and you pause, and you decide if it needs more seasoning or not – the soup notices.”
Nutritionist, author and Bastyr University faculty member, Cynthia Lair, encourages mindfulness in food preparation and consumption, in this wonderful TEDxRainier Talk.
Lair reminds us that meditation and mindfulness take many forms, and can provide unexpected benefits. She also shares an excellent technique for dicing an onion.
Lair is the author of Feeding the Whole Family: Recipes for Babies, Young Children, and Their Parents, and Feeding the Young Athlete: Sports Nutrition Made Easy for Players, Parents, and Coaches. She co-produces and hosts of popular online show Cookus Interruptus, about cooking with organic ingredients.
