Recipes for Life at The Orchard
At The Orchard Nursing Home in St Albans we are starting ‘Recipes for life’, every 2 weeks we are asking resident’s for their favourites recipes and putting one of them on the menu for the home. If there cakes or cookies as a suggestion, they will also be displayed in our bistro in reception and for the residents and visitors to enjoy.
This week residents enjoyed baking Margaret’s cheesy scones, a recipe she enjoyed making when living at home. The wonderful smells wafted through The Orchard as they baked, and then everyone sat down with a cuppa to enjoy their hard work. Seeing the other residents join in making her recipe and and everyone enjoying them afterwards filled Margaret with a sense of pride.
Main meals will be made by the chef, but our residents really enjoy baking and helping them make their own recipes, that they enjoyed making and eating so much in the past, will bring back happy memories. And who knows, they could be become a regular feature on the menu at The Orchard!
