What is culinary medicine?
Culinary medicine blends the art of cooking with the science of nutrition to improve health. While the term is relatively new, using food for healing is deeply rooted in cultures around the world. At its core, culinary medicine offers a food-first approach to transforming nutrition advice into practical, repeatable skills through hands-on learning.
Adaptable recipe frameworks that democratize traditional recipes
Our recipe frameworks celebrate personal food choices and encourage readers to use ingredients that they love or already have on hand.
Whether you are a healthcare professional seeking culinary medicine content or a consumer simply looking for delicious recipes to elevate your home cooking, this book serves as a complete guide to inspire creativity, build confidence, and help mix things up in the kitchen.
White-label and tailor the book for your audience
We can add, edit, or adapt recipes to meet the specific needs of your patient population or clinical focus—ensuring content aligns with your program’s goals.
We recently white-labeled for the Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) conference to complement a hands-on culinary workshop for Metabolic Health. Recipes were adapted to reflect the latest nutrition science in obesity medicine, and the content was customized—complete with a foreword from the OMA president.
Enhance your own culinary skills and dietary pattern
Think of nutrition like learning to ride a bike—you don’t master it from a handout or social media posts alone. Instead, you practice, build confidence, and eventually, it becomes second nature. And the key to consistent practice? Deliciousness! If your food tastes great and is simple to make, then you’ll want to make it again.
