When our family, the love of my life, received the devastating news of a dementia diagnosis, I was determined to make the best of the situation. The early signs of dementia were subtle at first, but they gradually became more concerning, such as getting lost while driving and repeatedly forgetting the names of people she had known for years. Drawing on my background in medicine and research, I immediately began investigating possible interventions, prevention, and caregiving as my wife started experiencing more frequent and severe memory lapses. I also gathered extensive information on nutrition, exercise, and healthy eating to help slow the progression of the disease, as our lives depended on it.

I have a genuine passion for gourmet foods and find comfort in cooking for others. So, where better to embark on this adventure than by exploring natural, organic, and holistic methods scientifically proven to enhance cognitive functions? While I am not a chef or a nutritionist, I am a foodie, and my approach to this journey focuses on fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, and, yes, chocolate and caffeine. For me, food and the art of preparing gourmet meals have always served as a form of therapy. Once I realized how this could benefit my wife, the journey -- and this cookbook and guide -- truly began.
