Synopsis "Feasting, Healing Reclaiming Your Life Through Cooking- Personal Narratives, Poetry, Fiction, Recipes"

When a sudden cerebral attack left 22-year-old Payal Kapoor permanently blind, she went overnight from being a happy young girl to a physically and emotionallydisabled person. Her desire to be a chef now seemed like a pipe dream. Her practicalmother thought otherwise. After all, who needed to be able to see to string beans orgrate carrots? Soon Payal was back in the kitchen, and slowly, with the help of recipesin Braille and even Braille measuring cups and a talking weighing scale, she beganto cook again. Now, being her family's resident chef and mentor to others similarlyafflicted, gives her unparalleled satisfaction and a growing sense of being bigger thanher disability.Cooking changed the life of both Jaya Vaishya and her son Mihir, born with athetoidcerebral palsy. Thanks to the Veruschka Foundation, a space that trains children withspecial needs to become independent chefs, Mihir now cooks aloo chat, dosa andChinese fried rice-and the pride and joy he feels is a balm for both mother and son.For warzone photographer Giles Duley, the depression that engulfed him when hewitnessed the human tragedy in Mosul, Iraq, in 2017, when countless thousandswere killed, seemed like an abyss he would never escape. Until he began to cook.Today, despite having lost both legs and an arm in a landmine explosion, this 'onearmedchef' continues to find solace in cooking for, as he says, 'Food is life.'From bipolar disorder, clinical depression, an abusive marriage or childhood traumasto simply finding one's feet in a foreign land, each person in this collection ofpersonal narratives, poetry and fiction, finds comfort in the kitchen-cooking to givetheir lives a focus and stability. Heartwarming and immensely moving, their storiesare an inspiration for each one of us to get up and smell the coffee.
