Culinary medicine aims to improve a patients’ condition(s) via education, by addressing what they eat and drink regularly. It emphasizes culinary techniques and how to efficiently and confidently prepare health promoting foods that taste great. The objective of culinary medicine is to empower patients by providing accurate information, effective self-care skills, and tools to safely improve their nutritional well-being, overall quality of life and reduce risks of common lifestyle-related chronic conditions. This Cleveland Clinic’s Centers for Integrative and Lifestyle Medicine Culinary Medicine Toolkit is a guide to help patients achieve those goals.
