'Whispering Palate' offers a unique dining experience centred around an unconventional table, designed to enhance the art of Distraction-Free Eating. It entices diners to disconnect from their devices and truly focus on the food. Through the use of curiosity and sound, this innovative table introduces techniques for cultivating mindfulness during meals. It specifically caters to individuals seeking more engagement during their dining experiences, those who view idle moments as unproductive, and those striving for increased mindfulness. By providing new stimuli and fostering a deeper connection to the act of eating, whether by listening to the sound of chewing, the preparation process, or even the rhythm of one's breath, Whispering Palate aims to address the prevailing health and behaviour-related challenges in today's food landscape.

The product directly addresses the concerning issues associated with health and eating habits. Distraction eating, which often leads to reduced taste perception and overconsumption, has become prevalent due to our tendency to focus on external distractions like television, phones, or newspapers. This behaviour can have indirect health consequences, including contributing to obesity and related problems. However, since distracting eating stems from habitual patterns that we may not always be aware of, the Whispering Palate subtly nudges individuals toward alternative behaviours, encouraging them to break free from these unconscious habits.

'Irony' is a concise collection that delves into the repetitive nature of human behaviour, presenting a series of experiments that reveal our unconsious tendencies. It encapsulates the irony of our recurring errors and paterns.

The book is an extensive exploration of techniques and issues related to distraction eating, slow eating, and their impact on individuals and their environment.
