Abstract:

This project introduces a creative and refreshing way to promote self-awareness and emotional expression. By integrating culinary arts, we encourage participants to process distress and discover a unique, hands-on outlet for emotional release.

Project Progress

Between November and December 2025, the project successfully blended emotional wellness with culinary arts through offline workshops, print media, and digital campaign outreach. The team published 70 copies of an "Emotion Recipe" zine, distributing 18 in workshops and saving the rest for consignment store sales to sustain future efforts. They hosted three specialized events: an okonomiyaki and cabbage-embroidery workshop, a bagel-making session focused on stress relief at CUHK, with proceeds donated to local NGOs, and an intimate end-of-year book, song, and food-sharing breakfast at Reverie Bookstore.
