This presentation by Dr. Rhona Richman Kenneally of Concordia University will explore the domestic foodscape as a site of mindful eating, a theme that calls to attention opportunities to enhance food-related experiences for the eater, cook, and, indeed, the many other stakeholders implicated in food production and preparation. It interrogates possibilities of supporting community and commensality as a result of shared experiences, as well as opportunities to enhance gustatory pleasure by encouraging a broader (cognitive, sensorial) appreciation of what one eats and where and how.
