Food and Community: Self-care Culture - A Touch of Warmth

Cooking at home tends to be a rather personal affair but Claire Teo, a visually-impaired thespian, is inviting you into her kitchen for a one-of-a-kind multisensory cooking experience . In this pre-recorded video, Claire will use her sense of smell and touch to shop at a wet market before returning home to prepare dishes close to her heart.

A Touch of Warmth

Join visually-impaired thespian Claire Teo as she optimises the use of her senses to put together a heartwarming meal.

See how she embraces her keen sense of smell and touch to create new recipes; and pay special attention to her song choices which she tends to select based on the type of food she is preparing. For instance, whenever she makes a family recipe, she is often overwhelmed by a sense of love and nostalgia and tends to put on the Mandarin ditty 甜蜜蜜 (Sweet, Honey, Honey).

This video has been made fully accessible for sensory-sensitive, visually impaired and d/Deaf and hard of hearing audiences.
