Introduction: Paul Denino is best known as the former best line cook in Florida at the quality New England seafood restaurant, Chowderheads. He now lives at home with his parents and plays games on his computer which he records for thousands of people to watch. He spends most his time teaching how to cook delicious meals that he learned to make from being a top of the line chef. His hobbies include body building, which he learned from his mother Enza Denino, a professional bodybuilder. He always dresses professionally with his token button-up shirt and tie.

Evolutionary: Paul, being a human in the year 2016, is the result of thousands of years of evolution. His natural culinary ability must have been from the need for a healthy way to prepare food. His ancestors may have been less sanitary in their food preparation and may have suffered for it. For Paul to thrive in his current environment he developed his cooking skills so that he could feed healthy meals to both him and his family.

Neuroscience: The brain requires nutrients and energy to perform at peak levels, and since Paul is a professional cook, he has no problem getting his brain what it needs. He has a very healthy diet of only the best prepared foods he can make which results in his ability to think clearly and operate at such a level of high focus activity. Without such a good diet he would not be able to cook or teach people how to cook so that they too can eat healthy and live life to the fullest.

Psychodynamic: When Paul was young he was reprimanded for his failure to cook skillful and tasty dishes. This led to him being afraid to ever cook again because he still had nightmares of letting people down with his cooking. Psychologists treated Paul and had him go to culinary school as a form of therapy and there he could build up his confidence to cook again.

Behavioral: Paul was a very rambunctious child. His parents had to train him to be more calm by treating him to his favorite meal when he had a good day at school and didn’t distract his class. This modified Paul’s natural inclination to be hyperactive and benefitted him for future social situations.

Cognitive: Since Paul is a very skilled chef, he has made thousands of different dishes for people. To help him remember all these recipes, Paul uses mnemonic devices to help him remember how much to of each ingredient he needs to add to each one of the dishes.

Sociocultural: Paul, wanting to make sure it is publicly known that he is a professional cook, will wear a button-up shirt and tie almost daily. This makes him come off as a professional cook so he has a higher standing in the social hierarchy of the kitchen.
