Impact of Cooking and Home Food Preparation Interventions Among Adults: A Systematic Review (2011-2016)

Marla Reicks; Megan Kocher; Julie Reeder

Objective To update a review of the impact of interventions for adults that included a cooking component on diet, health, and psychosocial outcomes. Design A total of 3,047 records were identified by searching MEDLINE, Agricola, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (January, 2011 to March, 2016). A total of 34 articles met inclusion and exclusion criteria for analysis. Study description and outcomes were extracted and synthesized to generate conclusions regarding impact. Results Less than half of the studies included a control group. The most common intended outcomes were improvements in fruit and/or vegetable intake and weight. The majority of studies showed positive dietary behavior changes and improvements in cooking confidence and knowledge. Limitations included the lack of a control group, no follow‐up past after intervention, the use of nonvalidated assessment instruments, and small convenience samples. Discussion Findings were similar to a previous review regarding positive impact on dietary and cooking confidence outcomes. Clinical and weight outcomes were addressed in more studies included in the current review than in the previous 1; however, limitations were similar. Conclusions and Implications Intervention design and assessment tools need to be strengthened in intervention studies with cooking components.

Recipes and Research: A Survey of Cookbook Collection Users

Megan Kocher

This article outlines the history of the Doris S. Kirschner Cookbook Collection at the University of Minnesotas Magrath Library and details a survey of this collections users. Because the collection does not circulate, the survey was undertaken to find out some information about who uses this collection and why. Respondents to the survey consisted of primarily University of Minnesota staff and their uses of the collection were varied, encompassing personal, academic, and creative uses. The results of this survey will be used as a basis for further exploration as well as targeted marketing of the collection.
