12. A Table Can Be Just as Creative as a Canvas with Kiki Canuto
<p>The fastest way to turn a room of strangers into a room full of friends isn't a good icebreaker question — it's giving them something to make, share, and taste. </p><p><br></p><p>In this episode of The Creative Collective, our art therapy podcast and creativity podcast, we sit down with Kiki Canuto, the chef and founder behind Getaway Plate — a traveling culinary studio that thoughtfully builds creative community. She moves from city to city, working with local artists, designers, and organizers, and builds each event around whatever's local and in season.</p><p><br></p><p>In this episode, they discuss:</p><ul><li>The tortilla-making party that reminded Kiki what she's actually building toward, and why it was never really about the tortillas</li><li>How a chance conversation about cider at a Christmas market turned into a full dinner collaboration on the Danish island of Bornholm</li><li>How a food-waste collaboration with a textile artist turned an avocado pit into naturally-dyed fabric</li><li>Kiki's still-forming dream of a multi-disciplinary day retreat that brings movement, art, and food into the same space</li><li>The cookbook that changed how Kiki thinks about following a recipe</li><li>What Kiki learned about herself during a period of saying yes to everything, and why she now commits fully or not at all</li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>Resources & Links:</strong></p><ul><li>Kiki Canuto - <a href="https://getawayplate.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Getaway Plate</a></li><li>Kiki's Instagram -<a href="https://www.instagram.com/getaway_plate/?hl=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> @getaway_plate</a></li><li><a href="https://strideworks.co/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Emma Collins</a>, Textile Artist hosting workshops</li><li><a href="https://amzn.to/4pwzmPv" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Two Dozen Eggs</a> by: Hugh Corcoron </li></ul><p><br></p><p>Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss an episode, follow us on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/creativecollectivepod/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Instagram</a> or visit our <a href="http://creativecollectivepod.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">website</a> to learn more.
