Opening Speech by
Ms Rahayu Mahzam,
Parliamentary Secretary - Ministry of Communications and Information & Ministry of Health

8.00pm - Opening Speech8.05pm - Launch of the Master Cook SeriesMaster Cook is a series of unique cooking programmes by caregivers and people living with dementia. The objective of this segment is to prepare nutritious and quick-fix meal for your loved ones and yourself to enjoy. Simple and easy recipe allows your loved ones to participate in the cooking process. Sharing a meal together encourages deep connection between people as eating the same food suggests that we are both bringing the same thing into our bodies.Familiar food connects us to the past, to our memories, to our family, to an event or incident, a special moment or day, to friends, sometimes to strangers. It connects us to the mysterious lands never visited or places we have been. Familiar taste of the food connects our senses and triggers stories to be told.In support of the Enabling Festival 2021 which focuses on Taste, join me as I will be cooking a local dish and will be involving my mum in the preparation of the dish.
