Published: October 2024

The field of culinary medicine has gained significant attention for its potential to improve health outcomes through the integration of nutrition and medical practice. However, the cultural dimensions of this interdisciplinary field remain underexplored. Emphasizing the role of sociocultural practices, the paper highlights how culturally appreciative culinary practices can meet the sextuple aim of healthcare system innovation. By examining diverse cultural traditions and their contributions to culinary medicine, this review underscores the importance of culturally attuned approaches in promoting human health. The integration of cultural food wisdom into healthcare practices offers a pathway to more effective and personalized care, stronger patient-provider relationships, diversity/equity/inclusion/belonging, and sustainable food systems.

The increasing popularity of social media and the growth of gourmet food culture have elevated molecular gastronomy as a unique dining experience that enhances consumers' perceptions of value through innovative food presentation and sensory marketing strategies. This study investigates consumer acceptance of molecular gastronomy by utilizing the value-attitude-behavior (VAB) model and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). We examine the interplay between utilitarian and hedonic values, product innovation, and sensory stimulation to understand consumer reactions and attitudes toward molecular gastronomy.

Recommendations to address the shortfalls of the EAT-Lancet planetary health diet from a plant-forward perspective.

Lancet Planet Health

January 2025

Department of Agricultural Economics and Rural Development, University of Göttingen, Göttingen, Germany; Department of Nutrition, Fulda University of Applied Sciences, Fulda, Germany.

Shifting to dietary patterns rich in plants and low in animal-source foods could substantially lower emissions from the food sector while reducing the global burden of non-communicable diseases. The EAT-Lancet Commission proposed the planetary health diet (PHD) to emphasise plant-forward diets and set global targets to guide an urgently needed food-system transformation. However, the PHD's meat-reduction approach has attracted criticism and prompted debate on the potential micronutrient shortfalls of the plant-forward dietary approach.

Objective: This article outlines the evaluation model for the Cooking with Confidence (CWC) program, developed using Bandura's Social Learning Theory as its conceptual framework. The evaluation aimed to: (1) Examine participant characteristics in the CWC program, (2) Assess changes in cooking knowledge, skill acquisition, self-efficacy, and confidence, and (3) Identify barriers and facilitators to participant engagement. CWC is a community-based educational program designed to help autistic young adults develop independent living skills and promote health through hands-on cooking classes.

Rapid screening of pottery lipid residue profile via comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography.

Anal Chim Acta

February 2025

Department of Archaeology and Anthropology, School of Humanities, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, 100049, Beijing, China. Electronic address:

Background: Pottery lipid residue analysis has been extensively practiced worldwide as an important part of archaeometry studies, but in some cases, the complexity of archaeological residue cannot be fully revealed by one-dimensional gas chromatography (1D GC) separation. Although the development of comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GCxGC) has offered another way to achieve better separation and higher resolution, GCxGC separation has rarely been applied to pottery residue analysis. Clearly, GCxGC separation needs to be explored to examine and scrutinize the complexity of pottery lipid residue profile as well as rapid data treatment workflow.
