Brainfood Kitchen is a venture the SO and I started back in 2016. Inspired by research SO had done for his senior thesis on brain health and my handy cooking skills, we aimed to create recipes that were tasty and good for not just your body, but your brain. It seemed to us that brain health is an uncharted frontier – there’s plenty of ways to ‘exercise’ your brain, but what about giving your brain the nutrients it needs?
We created a cookbook “Brainfood Kitchen Does Lunch” for friends and family for Christmas and 2016. It was a lot of work, but the results were nutritious and delicious.
What Makes Brainfood brainfood?
Brainfood is all about getting the nutrients that your brain loves. As it would happen, most of those nutrients are found in vegetables and fruits as well as nuts and seeds. As a result, recipes are vegan, (majority) gluten free, and jam-packed with flavonoids and omega-3s and omega-6s.
As a psychologist, Andy Earle is well-versed in how to research and how to make sure that research is legitimate. The foods chosen that make up recipes are based on the latest information on neuroscience to increase focus, IQ, memory, and learning ability.
