The Kitchen Shrink is a combination of two important and beloved topics: food and mental well-being.
Andrea Oskis is a trained psychologist, who uses anecdotes and case studies to discuss what food tells us about our relationships.
Coupled with amazing Cypriot/Greek cuisine recipes, Oskis' book is fun to read.
I must admit, I am more inclined towards psychiatry, and do not believe in all theories of psychology, some of which Oskis mentions in this book. Yet, this did not undermine my experience with the book. Had the food element not been there, this would have still been an interesting book, however Oskis' linking of attachment, safety and feelings with food and food rituals makes this book all the more interesting.
