“…Included papers had distinct purposes: those reporting the development of an original instrument, or cross-cultural adaptation of a tool to explicitly measure cooking/food skills or a part thereof (n = 7) and original tools developed to evaluate a cooking and food skills intervention (n = 5). Most tools assessed cooking skills in adults from a particular country (Hartmann et al , 2013 [ 46 ]; Lavelle et al , 2017 [ 43 ]; Vrhovnik, 2012 [ 47 ]; Kennedy et al l, 2019 [ 44 ]), parents of schoolchildren responsible for food preparation at home (Martins et al , 2019 [ 45 ]), university students (Warmin, 2009 [ 38 ]; Jomori et al , 2017 [ 40 ]; Kowalkowska et al , 2018 [ 42 ]) and adults of low-income communities, participants in culinary skills and nutrition education programs (Michaud, 2007 [ 37 ]; Condrasky et al , 2011 [ 39 ]; Condrasky et al , 2013 [ 48 ]; Barton et al , 2011 [ 41 ]). Study samples were mostly composed of women (Barton et al , 2011 [ 41 ], Condrasky et al , 2011 [ 39 ]; Martins et al , 2019 [ 45 ]; Kennedy et al , 2019 [ 44 ]; Kowalkowska et al , 2018 [ 42 ]; Michaud, 2007 [ 37 ]; Warmin, 2009 [ 38 ]; Vrhovnik, 2012 [ 47 ]).…”
