Description
Why did our grandmothers stir turmeric into hot milk at bedtime? Why did they eat with their hands, or instinctively pair yoghurt with rice on a hot day? In this rich and reflective talk, culinary storyteller and author Radhika Howarth explores the intuitive food wisdom passed down through generations – and what it still has to teach us today.
Drawing on her background in food and nutrition, Radhika brings gentle authority to the everyday knowledge once shared around family tables.
From seasonal rhythms to the quiet remedies in our spice cupboards, she invites us to reconnect with a more instinctive, meaningful way of eating – one rooted in care, culture, and memory.
