Elena de Tapia Ruano
Hobby Kitchen
Apart from having a degree in economics that I never ended up using, my passion is cooking. I am a Higher Technician in Dietetics and in Kitchen Management, among other studies, and a neurogastronomist. I teach cooking courses in schools, town councils and cooking schools, and I offer online or in-home cooking courses for people who have to follow special diets and have little or no cooking knowledge.
I specialise in cooking classes for beginners, and I design recipes for programmes and books for children, as well as educational content on gastronomy and nutrition. My challenge: to captivate others by teaching all the virtues of food as an "Emotional Cook". Neurogastronomy applied to cooking helps us acquire healthy habits based on the gastronomic richness of the Mediterranean Diet.
