Therapeutic Cooking

http://www.recreationtherapy.com/tx/tx1dsrt.htm

Here's a page on recipes for therapeutic cooking. I always heard cooking was used in certain therapies but I was never sure exactly how. Aside from the obvious conversation-starters and social gain it brings, there's also stuff on how it can effect stroke patients or victims of depression, etc.

It's really interesting! People also find comfort in making foods that their parents or grandparents made, bringing back smells and tastes (two strongest senses) from their childhoods.
