Eficácia de intervenções nutricionais no aperfeiçoamento de habilidades culinárias: uma revisão

Abstract

Culinary nutrition interventions have been gaining momentum in recent years, with the main purpose of promoting adequate and healthy eating, developing/improving culinary skills, and improving the quality of life of different audiences. The present study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of nutritional interventions in improving or developing cooking and eating skills. A systematic review research was conducted by searching for scientific articles published in the PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scielo electronic databases using the keywords in English, "cooking skills," "food skills," and "culinary skills" published between the years 2018 and 2022. In general, the studies were based on cooking education classes, food and nutrition education, and healthy eating followed by practical cooking classes. The results, in their entirety, demonstrate that all of the interventions conducted were effective in improving the culinary skills as well as the nutrition of the participants. Thus, it can be said that nutritional interventions have positive effects in improving and/or developing individuals' culinary skills and nutrition.
