Event Information
About this event
Master 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.
