Once again, the Maggie Beer Foundation is sending out an invitation to
passionate aged care cooks and chefs to engage in an Education Program
that has proven the strength of its impact with participants around
the country. As Maggie explains, “It would come as no surprise that
I loved food all my life; it’s my joy, and sometimes my heartache,
but we can fix that, and together, we can improve the health,
happiness and quality of life of every older Australian.” This is
very much a hands on experience for everyone taking part; a chance to
ask as many questions as pop into your head, trouble-shoot the
stumbling blocks of cooking in aged care homes, put some fresh
thinking around nutritious ingredients, food budgeting, supplier
relationships, aged care specific recipes, menus and dining room
management. As always, Maggie has pulled together her A-Team to ensure
important ground is covered in a most delicious manner. Amongst the
leading experts joining Maggie for the presentations, will be Peter
Morgan-Jones, well known to many in his role as HammondCare’s
Executive Chef. Peter will be discussing texture modified foods and
cooking for those with dementia. All work and no play is far from
Maggie’s ideal learning environment, so be prepared to mix
inspirational teachings with beautiful food and plenty of laughs.
Please note that tickets are based on a ‘first in best fed’
policy, and are only for those who fulfill the criteria of a chef or
cook in aged care, Australia-wide.
