It’s important for those catering to care home residents to get a clear understanding of what their specific needs and requirements are.

But remember, it’s not just about serving something nutritious, it’s about serving something fulfilling and delicious too! Chefs must also be mindful of other factors like

Ingredients

• Double cream, 1000ml

• Caster sugar, 250g

• Lemons, 4 residents’ tolerance for spice - while one may love a hot chipotle spiced chicken, another may prefer a less spicy version. Each care home will also have a different mix of residents from different cultural backgrounds too, so adapting meals to fit those flavour profiles will be key to helping them feel comfortable, and at home.

And of course, meal times must be fun! Try implementing themed days and dishes that offer a sense of nostalgia or relate to something current like the upcoming coronation for King Charles III. Our lemon cream pudding is quick and simple to make but offers an elegant touch.

We’ve shared the recipe so you can replicate it in your care home as part of a coronation feast, fit for a King or Queen and beyond.
