A Recipe for Better Brainpower, From a Mediterranean Island I love promoting recipes and cooking concepts that inspire both pleasure and health. Culinary medicine marries nutritional science and the art of cooking to create dishes with health-boosting properties. As a chef, it is important to me that these dishes don’t just do our body good, but taste great as well. It is, after all, food’s flavor that keeps us coming back for more. This particular recipe, for instance, contains a combination of nutrients that are known to increase brainpower. I recommend it for students cramming for an exam, or really anyone who wants to clear brain fog or improve their memory—as well as those seeking to take their palates on a culinary tour of a majestic Mediterranean island.
