In this very special live episode of Talking Tastebuds, Venetia is joined by a panel of experts - Jo Webber (Pukka herbalist), Mira Manek (cook and author of Prajna, Ayurvedic Rituals for Happiness) and Jillian Lavender (Co-Founder of London Meditation Centre) - to uncover what Ayurveda is and how we can all incorporate it into our routines for a more balanced festive season.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… but it can also be a time of over-indulgence and increased anxiety. Whether it’s food, cooking, meditation, herbs, spices, plant medicine or digital detoxes, this panel will inspire you to feel calmer about Christmas, with some wonderful hacks in your toolkit to help you find balance.

This event was hosted in partnership with Pukka Herbs at their pop-up Herb Hub in Seven Dials.

Aja Barber is a writer, stylist and slow fashion advocate. Her voice is one of the most impactful in the sustainable space and I couldn’t be happier to have her on the show this week. 

We examine food as privilege and how colonisation affected and still impacts indigenous communities and Aja shares her advice on how she thinks we should be re-framing the conversation around veganism. We also discuss white privilege, sustainable fashion, her frustrations with influencers preaching ‘sustainability’ and taking money from fast fashion brands at the same time, inclusivity in fashion and cultural appropriation.
