About WRAP and the Teaching Kitchen

Wellness and Recovery after Psychosis (WRAP) is a Boston Medical Center program that is tailored for patients who are experiencing psychotic symptoms. WRAP offers a variety of services for patients to help them toward leading productive lives.

WRAP has partnered with the Teaching Kitchen to offer a wellness series for patients who are looking to improve their dietary patterns and physical activity.

This program is currently offered as a research study. Enrollment is closed, but please stay tuned for future programming.

Learning, Cooking, and Moving: A Cookbook

This cookbook grew from the collaboration between the Teaching Kitchen and WRAP. It collects the many recipes our cooking class participants cooked, baked, and enjoyed. From egg muffins for a batch-cooked breakfast to a quick homemade pizza dinner, these recipes taught participants how to prepare fun and nutritious foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner while gaining valuable cooking skills.

All you need to make cooking a sustainable part of your life are a few recipes you enjoy and can prepare efficiently, and a willingness to try. We hope this collection of recipes will inspire you to prepare healthy, delicious meals in your daily lives!
