CW: kitchen accidents, brief discussion of major burns. In this 2nd episode of the Experts Talk series, Payal is in conversation with a wonderful set of people - Alefiya Tundawala, Ashmira Hirani, Geetha Shamanna and Gunjan Khurana - who've encountered hell, high water, and healthy amounts of encouragement along the way to becoming culinary experts in their own right. They each talk about how the great adventure first began, their one unforgetable experience in the kitchen, and their positive takeaways from having become proficient in the kitchen. Ashmira tells us how she gradually grew to think of cooking as theraputic, and Geetha tells us how its practically an exercise in mindfulness, especially if you add blindness to the mix. Alefiya powerfully drives home the idea that reducing dependence on people (by learning to cook by ourselves, for instance), is one concrete way to reclaim our independence, dignity and identities as disabled people, and Gunjan gives us the mother of all examples of how necessity drives invention when it comes to cooking (think cucumber and tomato chutni, using nothing but glass and a Braille slate). Ask no more - this is where we leave you to find out the rest for yourselves.
