With this collaboration between George Brown College Centre (GBC) for Hospitality and Culinary Arts; Stella's Place, a mental health treatment centre for young adults; and Ontario College of Arts and Design University in Toronto, Canada, readers will learn about the whole diet approach and which nutrients are the best for brain health supported by credible sources. The illustrations throughout the cookbook are meant to relax readers and provide a site for meditation as well as show off artistic flare.
Part 1 features recipes that gradually increase in difficulty over 12 weeks and can serve as the foundation for a community cooking class for young adults learning to cook. It is not necessary to go in order if readers are feeling overwhelmed. Tips are provided for cooking when fatigued, unmotivated or on a tight budget.
Part 2 reveals the secrets of some of the top chefs and their recipes from GBC Centre for Hospitality and Culinary Arts, offering more complex recipes. Readers should feel comfortable with recipes from Part 1 before moving on to Part 2.
Funds from the sale of this cookbook will be used to support the treatment of mental health challenges, such as depression and anxiety, for young adults who attend Stella's Place.

About the Author
Dr. Linda Gillis is a registered dietitian who worked with youth at McMaster Children's Hospital for twenty years before obtaining her PhD and coming to George Brown College Chef School. While treating young people who had diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, hypertension, etc., she noticed many suffered from mental health challenges. Her interest was heightened on how nutrition could play a role in their moods. Her current research encompasses how culinary nutrition education can help ameliorate the symptoms of depression and/or anxiety when combined with traditional treatment modalities. As a nutrition professor at the Centre for Hospitality and Culinary Arts, she educates students, not only on the health benefits of eating wholesome foods, but on how sweet delicacies can be incorporated into a healthy diet when we are truly mindful of that indulgence. Chef Ford and Dr. Gillis hope with these recipes, readers will take part in the enjoyment and nutritional value of cooking, as well as the journey that can lead to maintaining a healthy diet as well as mental health.
