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?

Flavor Lab Wednesday: Steaming — When Flavor Speaks for Itself
Sensory Flavor Science with Chef Riq
In this Flavor Lab episode, Chef Riq explores steaming as a lens for understanding flavor—not as a technique, but as a way to remove interference and hear what ingredients are truly saying. Steaming strips away distraction and reveals clarity, balance, and honesty in food.
You’ll learn why steamed food tastes precise, how aroma leads before taste, and how relaxed texture changes flavor perception. This episode also explores why steaming is powerful for allergy-friendly cooking, preserving both safety and ingredient identity.
Everything here sets the tone for Friday’s dish, where gentle cooking proves that quiet food can still be deeply satisfying.
