Why Comfort Food Feels Like Home: Food, Memory & Care

from Flayvor Sessions · host Teree LeSueur

In this episode of Flavor Sessions we explore why certain foods make us feel steady — how predictability, repetition, and memory turn dishes into comfort. We discuss the differences between comforting meals and emotional eating, and how cooking can ground the nervous system. We also look at holiday rituals, caregiving, and how taste and smell carry memory. Listen for practical reflections on food as care, and an invitation to notice the flavors that hold your stories.  As a bonus this December, we have  a gift from Flayvor to you.  If you are taking care of a family member or want to record some of your comfort food relections we have created tools that you can use, download for free.
