Abstract

Culinary Medicine UK (CMU) is a new not-for-profit organisation spearheaded by London-based GP Dr Rupy Aujla with a multidisciplinary team of fellow GPs, junior doctors, registered dieticians, nutritionists, and psychologists. As a pioneer in this field, there could be no better purveyor of CMU. Dr Aujla’s passion for nutritional intervention derives from his own experience of reversing ill health using diet and lifestyle alone. Culinary medicine is a relatively new evidence-based field, blending the art of cooking with the science of medicine.1,2 Although new to the UK, a course combining culinary arts and medical training is established in the US, led by Dr Tim Harlan of the Goldring Center for Culinary Medicine at Tulane Medical School in New Orleans. In his mission to bring culinary medicine to the UK, Dr Aujla attended the US course and in partnership with Tulane has meticulously modified and adapted the content to generate a UK-specific version of the programme.
