Today I'm interviewing Ada from Marmalade+Kindness in London. She’s going to share her story with us and how she created Marmelade+Kindness, her online cooking journal she launched to inspire and encourage people to find moments of mindfulness and creativity through cooking.On that journal, she’s sharing tried and tested recipes, featuring organic, seasonal produce and she aims to inspire you to develop a daily cooking habit.Her recipes encourage you to develop your intuition as a cook – to use all your senses, and adapt recipes to your tastes and those you cook for.I feel completely aligned with her philosophy of ‘mindful cooking’ that is quite unique and I love that all recipes incorporate wellness tips at the bottom under the ‘practice makes progress’ section.

Today in episode 19, Jonas Pariente is sharing his perspective on food and telling us about his project: "Grandmas Project", a collaborative web-series sharing the recipes and stories of grandmas around the world, filmed by their grandchildren.It all started in 2013 when Jonas realized he could tell more than his family's story. Not only could he share his grandmothers' food, recipes and cultures, but also those of dozens others who shared his love of food and cultural heritage. Capturing the diversity of the cultures and the unity of families, around food, is universal. So the Grandmas project was born.I hope you enjoy the episode and I'll leave you with Jonas's and his grandma's words of wisdom: "cooking takes time" and "the more I cook, the happier I get!"Click here to learn more about his story.Watch the first 12 videos on the website.Follow them on facebook – twitter – instagramAnd support them if you want more!
