What is a Teaching Kitchen?
When making the transition from academic medicine to a more personalized and involved health practice model, I felt very strongly about making sure that the space included a teaching kitchen. A teaching kitchen is a space where you work with and under the supervision of a trained professional in the preparation of foods. The benefits of having access to a teaching kitchen include:
Learning proper food handling techniques.
Explore preparation of foods that you may have never otherwise been prone to purchase.
Earn confidence in the ability to prepare healthy and flavorful meals.
Leaving the mess outside of your house!
Learning the nutritive benefits of the food and the purpose they serve in your health.
Learn how to buy healthy food at the grocery store.
Get a real-time demonstration of what it means when the doctor says, “eat healthier”.
At Summon Health, we are committed to delivering health in a way that is collaborative and informative as opposed to vague and leaving the burden upon you to figure it out for yourself.
