📺🤚🏼 Hands up if you've been watching Maggie Beer's Big Mission on ABC? This insightful program is putting the lens firmly on food service in aged care - and we couldn't be more supportive! Our team of Residential Aged Care chefs has already received training from the Maggie Beer Foundation as part of its 'Creating an Appetite for Life' initiative. The initiative, which is led by Maggie Beer’s experienced trainers, focuses on enhancing the dining, food, hydration, and nutritional experiences of people living in aged care. It covers areas like improving the dining experience, maximising flavour, rethinking texture-modified foods, and high impact cooking techniques. 🍏🧀🥑 Read more about this amazing experience here: https://bit.ly/3WvpOHH Maggie Beer's Big Mission airs on Tuesdays at 8.30pm or you can watch the entire series on iview.
