Thinkfood Cookbook

June 16, 2010

Don’t you just love it when you’ve been working on a project and the time has finally come to share it with others? That is exactly how I’m feeling today due to the launch of the Thinkfood cookbook and the Recipe of the Week campaign.

A few months ago myself, and 49 other food bloggers, were invited to work with PositScience, a science-based software company that develops products to exercise the brain and improve brain health. The goal of the project was to take an integrated approach to brain health that includes brain training and brain healthy eating. The result is the Thinkfood cookbook which contains recipes from each of us full of foods associated with mental health and wellbeing!

The hard copies of the cookbook will become available in mid-July with part of the sales going to charity, but today we are announcing the Recipe of the Week campaign which gives you the opportunity to see and print the recipes for free.

By signing up for the campaign, you will receive one recipe from the cookbook via email for the next 50 weeks which will arrive in your inbox on Wednesdays. Recipes include snacks, appetizers, sides, salads, main courses and desserts. (I know. You are excited that dessert is considered brain food!)

I am so happy to be a part of this project! It is, of course, focused on real food; real food that maintains the health of one of the most important parts of our bodies. I am thrilled with what they have done with my recipe regarding photography and layout, and I can’t wait to see what everyone else involved has contributed. Be sure you sign up for the campaign so that you can see the recipes too. Then stay tuned because once the books are released in mid-July, I’ll be giving away one to my readers!

If you want to know a little more about PositScience you can follow them on Twitter or check out their Facebook page.

    Hmm, looks delicious.. I really love eating and experimenting any kind of foods, looks like this one is perfect for me. I’ve gotta include that in my grocery lists. Thank you for the post!

    Sounds like a really neat project. My dad is a brain doc so my family is a little brain obsessed. He can’t cook but I’ll be getting him a copy and maybe that will encourage him to put his nerdness to work in the kitchen, in the name of the brain.

    Congratulations on this. I signed up for the recipe emails. can’t wait.

    Thanks for all the kind words and congrats! I was immediately drawn to the project because it was so unique. I haven’t seen everyone’s recipes with the hard copies not being out yet so I can’t wait to cook some of them up myself!
