The Cook & Health Network is an informal, international network of academics who share an interest in researching the impact of home cooking and its replacement by away-from-home food preparation on individuals’ nutrition, health, economic and psychosocial status. Since 2015, and every two years, this network has organized the Cook and Health Conference, a scientific meeting that brings together international experts, scientific researchers and practitioners from a wide range of disciplines – Human Nutrition, Epidemiology, Dietetics, Public Health, Medicine, Food and Health Policy, Health and Nutrition Education, Home Economics, Consumer Psychology, Social Psychology, Sociology, Anthropology, Food Science and Technology, Culinary Arts, Tourism & Hospitality -, to share up-to-date knowledge and debate key research findings related broadly to home cooking behavior.
The third Cook and Health Conference meeting was hosted by CUBE, the Research Unit of Católica-Lisbon School of Business and Economics, at the Campus of Universidade Católica Portuguesa.
It attracted 85 participants from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Europe (Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, Portugal, Switzerland, United Kingdom) and the United States, including research area leaders, Ph.D. candidates, basic and applied researchers, consultants, and NGO and corporate representatives.
