Neurodelicious is a four-week course exploring various issues neurodivergent people face feeding ourselves, including:
-
Tools to help you understand your sensory needs and resistances
-
Adaptations of recipes, kitchen tools, and strategies to accommodate your needs
-
Interior kitchen design to make food preparation and clean up manageable, while reducing food waste (and saving money!
-
Support in disrupting shame around food sensitivities and difficulties we face feeding ourselves and managing mess
This course will be a weight, nutrition, and health-neutral space. Aspiring to healthier eating is a fine goal, but no one will be judged for their food choices.
We will offer some recipes so we can share strategies for adapting them, but this isn't a cooking class so much as a self-care class focused on feeding ourselves.
Facilitated by Lisa S. and Marta Rose, the course will consist of two sessions each week, one a presentation from the facilitators, and the other an office hours/body doubling session where there will be more time to ask questions specific to you, and to work together in the kitchen if you like.
About the Facilitators
Lisa S. grew up cooking alongside her mother in a restaurant, then a cooking school, and finally catering. Food is her longest standing special interest. She is also a pleasure activist and consent geek who loves helping people find ease and even joy in feeding themselves by giving them tools to accommodate their particular desires and limitations.
Marta Rose is a queer AuDHD writer and artist who offers critical insights and healing metaphors for reframing the ways we understand neurodivergence. Interior design has been a lifelong special interest, and Dr. Devon Price has said that her work around the concept of divergent design is groundbreaking. She cooked meals for her family for decades, mostly happily. Now that her children are grown, she is even happier to leave the cooking to her partner, but finds bread baking—not to mention eating toast for breakfast—pleasant rituals she wouldn't want to live without.
