#Community #Publication #SociallyEngaged #Wellbeing #Wellness

Cooking On My Mind was a BA Graphic Design workshop held for first year students in the hopes to promote positive mental wellbeing through a culinary practice. The workshop aimed to create a community through a shared experience of cooking and eating together, whilst educating participants on the importance in doing so. Participants were encouraged to bring a fond recipe with them, later to be included in Graphic Gastronomy, our community cookbook. The publication hoped to encourage culinary practice beyond the studio space and serve as a positive reminder of a social experience.
