Continuing education course in functional cooking
These days, people spend less and less time cooking, which results in meals being more monotonous and of poorer quality. Health professionals, through healthy menu recommendations, have always sought to highlight the nutritional and sensory value of food.
Nowadays, new technologies have taken things even further, allowing us to identify the bioactive components present in foods, giving them new functionalities. Cooking with these foods allows us to improve our quality of life - always following traditional guidelines based on fresh produce and taking into account key considerations such as seasonality and proximity.
Objectives of the program
Learn the criteria for selecting raw materials and the best cooking techniques to create balanced diets.
Provide a more in-depth look at the development of basic cooking techniques.
Create varied dishes to introduce in clinical cooking.
Aimed at
Healthcare professionals (Human nutrition and dietetics, nursing, physiotherapy, pharmacy, etc.).
