As the days grow colder, we often turn to food not just for nourishment, but for comfort – a warm bowl of soup, the smell of something baking, a favourite dish that brings back memories. For older adults and people living with dementia, such meals can do more than satisfy hunger — winter warmers boost appetite and enjoyment, provide physical warmth and energy, and create moments of connection.
The Little Winter Warmers Cookbook is the newest addition to our free downloadable mini cookbook range, with recipes drawn from our acclaimed cookbooks: Don’t Give Me Eggs That Bounce, It’s All About the Food Not the Fork, and Lobster for Josino.
