I loved this week’s newsletter! I found the cooking intuitively section profound as it really helps to stay present and engage all senses. I’m assuming this also helps boosting creativity? What cognitive impact does cooking intuitively or any activity that require full engagement have on the participant?
It def helps boost creativity. When we cook intuitively, we're using our senses, our memory, and context to create a dish. When we don't follow a recipe, we have to use our imagination. That's def a creative process.
