Chef Riq Unseen Cuisine
Welcome to Unseen Cuisine, the audio-first cooking show where flavor has no limits. I’m Chef Riq, The Blind Holistic Chef, and I believe the kitchen should be accessible, safe, and inspiring for everyone.
Each week, I guide you through audio cook-alongs built on tactile cues, sensory tips, and step-by-step instructions so that you can cook with confidence, no screens required. Whether you’re navigating blindness, low vision, food allergies, or want a more mindful way to cook, these recipes are designed for you.
From global small plates to sauces, breads, entrées, and comfort foods, every recipe includes allergy-friendly swaps and holistic nutrition notes to help you create restaurant-quality meals at home.
This isn’t just about cooking; it’s culinary medicine, where food heals, flavor inspires, and everyone belongs in the kitchen.
Could you tune in weekly for previews, sauces, and full cook-along recipes?

Wednesday Flavor Lab: Braising
Unseen Cuisine with Chef Riq
In this Flavor Lab episode, Chef Riq explores the flavor logic behind braising—not the steps, but the why. You’ll learn how time, gentle heat, and balance turn simple ingredients into deep, comforting dishes, and why braising is one of the most confidence-building techniques for blind and low-vision cooks.
This episode breaks down flavor pairing, the role of fat, salt, and acid, and how braising adapts beautifully to allergy-friendly and global variations. Chef Riq also shares holistic insights on why slow-cooked foods feel grounding, nourishing, and restorative.
Everything you hear today sets the foundation for Friday’s full braised dish, where patience becomes payoff.
