Participants will be randomly assigned to a dietary consultation-only control group or to a gourmet medical cooking workshop. The workshop will consist of 6 lessons with the following lessons: introduction, caloric density of food, fats, vegetable and fruits, Whole grains and legumes, Healthy desserts . All the lessons will start with half an hour theoretical introduction, followed by a 2.5 hours "hands on" session under supervision of a medical chef.
