A "Teaching kitchen" is essentially a home economics course, but with an added dose of mindfulness and "Health coaching."
The goal of the grant was to research "Best practices" of teaching kitchens.
The founders of the "Teaching Kitchen Collaborative" say they want to "Improve the way people eat, move, and think." David Eisenberg, an associate professor at Harvard and co-director of the Teaching Kitchen Collaborative, says research into teaching kitchens is "Novel."
"A teaching kitchen can be described as a virtual learning laboratory for life skills," according to a toolkit written by the Teaching Kitchen Collaborative's "Best Practices Committee." "As envisioned, teaching kitchens offer education in basic cooking techniques in addition to other self-care topics like enhanced nutrition, mindfulness, physical activity, and behavioral health coaching."
"What is the 'best' type of teaching kitchen?" asks the Best Practices Committee.
Teaching people how to cook can be expensive, according to the toolkit, which said teaching kitchens can cost as much as $1 million.
The conference also featured a presentation by the NIH, which hinted the agency could spend more studying how to teach people how to cook in the future.
