Bite-sized, nutritious, hand-held meals can be life-changing. Imagine being uncomfortable with cutlery, unable to face a large meal, having a reduced appetite, or difficulty chewing or swallowing. Perhaps you're always on the move or have other things on your mind. In these situations, a hand-held snack that is high in energy, nutrition and taste can restore dignity and enjoyment to your dining experience.
It’s All About the Food Not the Fork! is a gift of love especially prepared for older people and people, those with dementia, swallowing difficulties or other disabilities, as well as their carers.
'When talking with cooks and chefs in aged care, the question so often asked is about ideas for finger food to give pleasure and nutrient in every bite, particularly for those living with dementia. And here in this book, we have so many ideas to share.'
Maggie Beer, cook and food author
Celebrity recipes
Featuring a recipe from Australian food icon, Maggie Beer, who also writes the foreword, and another from one of America’s best-loved food writers, Paula Wolfert, who lives with dementia and featured in a documentary with Peter Morgan-Jones.
And while the meals are specially designed for people who can no longer use cutlery or who have swallowing difficulties, the snacks and light meals will delight anyone who enjoys the casual fun and convenience of 'food on the go' which is good for you as well!
