Following successful piloting at the University Medical School Göttingen, two further universities, the Brandenburg Medical School Theodor Fontane and the Justus Liebig University Giessen, have started teaching the innovative elective Culinary Medicine for the summer semester 2021. A joint evaluation has been launched. Culinary Medicine translates current nutritional medical findings into the living environments of patients and improves medical counselling competence in nutrition-associated diseases. The indication-related cooking course (Teaching Kitchen) is based on the consensus paper Leitfaden Ernährungstherapie in Klinik und Praxis (LEKuP).
