Welcome to this episode of The Ikigaia Podcast!

Food, glorious food! We all need it, depend on it. It is part of who we are. Who hasn’t posted a photo of their favorite dish on social media? Why do humans love it so much? Why do we let so much of it go bad in our fridges? Is it more than just fuel?

Today's guest is Anjli Vyas, a Chef, brand consultant, and anthropology of food researcher from the UK. 

She is the founder of Bare Kitchen, a platform that brings together the sensory relationship between humans and food. 

Her newest venture, Revolting Vegans is another expression of her passion for the culinary arts where she encourages conversations about our relationship with food, the global food crisis, and other social and political issues related to the subject.

To Anjli, food is much more than what is on our plates. It is her love language, part of her daily rituals, and her way of connecting with others.

From early childhood, she was passed on the legacy of cooking and now seeks to create a meaningful impact through her work.

In this episode, we discuss a few aspects of the current global situation, how to grow respect for the world behind what we eat, society's addiction to speed, and how we are living so disconnected in a connected world.

Things you will learn in this episode:

• The power of slow living.
• The connection between food and human emotions.
• The role food plays in our lives.
• The concept of intentionality.
• How to feel aligned with the work that you do.
