Stimulate your senses with cooking activities
Cooking your favorite food or trying new recipes can be really fun and helpful at the same time. It is said that cooking and baking can be a sensory experience, as it can stimulate many senses, such as the taste, smell, touch and help you be creative as well. However, it can be a cognitive stimulator as well, especially because cooking requires concentration and planning which can activate your brain.
“It feels comforting and you can literally put anything on top of pizza dough. My kids help shape the dough, which is just fun, and they get a kick out of me twirling it in the air. Everyone can pick and choose their own topping,” said Kate Merker, Good Housekeeping’s Chief Food Director.
