Sensory Cooking Method & Accessible Kitchen Education
Unseen Cuisine
Cooking for Every Sense. Confidence for Every Cook.
Unseen Cuisine is a sensory cooking and holistic food-confidence platform led by Chef Riq, a blind holistic chef and certified coach. Rooted in the Sensory Cooking Method™, this approach strengthens awareness, precision, and confidence in any kitchen.
Unseen Cuisine is designed for every kind of cook — blind, low-vision, sighted, beginner, experienced, caregiver, or anyone ready to elevate their skills and cook with greater confidence. Whether you are cooking without sight, cooking for the first time, or refining your craft, the sensory method develops the same core skills professional chefs rely on: touch, sound, aroma, timing, and spatial awareness.
Through accessible recipes, structured sensory cooking education, live cooking experiences, and personalized holistic coaching, Unseen Cuisine helps individuals build real confidence in the kitchen, navigate food allergies and health needs, and create sustainable food routines that support everyday life—not perfection.
Chef Riq also offers one-on-one coaching designed to strengthen kitchen independence, improve food confidence, and align cooking habits with personal health goals. Coaching focuses on practical strategy, sensory awareness, and long-term empowerment—not rigid meal plans.
Each month, The Unseen Kitchen Live Series™ brings the sensory cooking methodology into the kitchen in real time. These guided classes allow participants to cook alongside Chef Riq, applying touch, sound, aroma, and timing in a structured, supportive environment. Ingredient and preparation details are provided in advance so every participant arrives ready to cook with clarity and confidence.
Here, cooking is not taught by watching alone.
It is taught through sensing.
Because confidence in the kitchen isn’t about what you see.
It’s about what you feel, hear, smell, and trust.
A new way to cook.
A new way to support yourself.
Designed for every kind of cook.
From Sound to Flavor
Each Unseen Cuisine recipe is written with sensory instruction at its core — guiding you through rhythm, timing, texture, and sound, from the steady sizzle of a pan to the crisp snap of fresh vegetables.
Whether you’re blind, low-vision, or simply ready to cook with deeper awareness, you’ll learn to trust your senses and create food that feels as good as it tastes.
Cooking Without Limits — Where Food Heals and Flavor Inspires.
I lost my sight — but never my vision for flavor.
As a blind holistic chef and nutritionist, I blend culinary artistry with wellness, teaching people how to cook with confidence using sound, touch, aroma, and intuition.
Through Unseen Cuisine, I share accessible, dairy-free, flavor-forward recipes designed to nourish the body and build real kitchen independence.
Because cooking without limits isn’t about sight.
It’s about skill, awareness, and trust.
