Neuroscience and Cooking Therapy

Bys: Restuccia, Erica, Marafioti, Giulia, Rizzo, Amelia

This volume analyzes the role of cooking as a complex activity involving cognitive, emotional and social processes. Neuroscientific evidence shows that cooking is not only a functional act, but an exercise that stimulates neuroplasticity and executive functions, promoting psychological well-being and rehabilitation. Through "Cooking Therapy," clinical and psychosocial applications are illustrated: from nutritional reeducation to the reduction of psychiatric disabilities and neuropsychological assessment in children. The text also delves into the socio-cultural dimension of food as a vehicle for identity and inclusion, highlighting how culinary practice can become a tool for cross-cultural connection and enhancing interpersonal skills.
