Food is much more than fuel! At the very least, mealtimes are the punctuation by which our days flow smoothly. At their best they can be a combination of social interaction and sensory enjoyment which brings diners together and satisfies needs other than just hunger. We’re well aware of the need for high quality, healthy, appetizing meals as a basic requirement of providing luxury care, and since our founding in 2005 we’ve been developing, improving and striving for best-in-class expertise and innovation.
With the right planning and preparation, texture-modified food can be as inspired – both aesthetically and in terms of flavour – as typically-prepared food. A day’s menu could include toast with jam, sausage, beans, and hash browns and roast chicken with vegetables. Even afternoon snacks and biscuits are entirely achievable with the right training. Many of our chefs have become so accomplished with this method of preparation that they have come to see pureed food as a different form of cooking rather than simply a medical need.
Signature would like to say a huge thankyou to all involved in our food and beverages program in 2019, and we are looking forward to an inspiring and successful 2020!
