The company has created a section on its website that includes a range of downloadable recipe cards and menu planners, delivering ‘inspiration’ for care home caterers looking for innovative Christmas recipes. It has also added themed quizzes that can be downloaded to provide residents with some festive fun.
As part of the campaign Olli Smith, development chef at Brakes, has developed a new video that shows care caterers how to adapt the traditional Christmas dinner into an IDDSI Level 4 meal.
Paul Nieduszynski, chief executive for Sysco GB, said: “Christmas is a really important time for care home residents and making sure that Christmas food meets their needs and expectations is crucial for a successful festive season.
“It’s vital that, even when a person can no longer eat a meal with the regular texture, caterers have the knowledge and confidence to adapt a meal so that all residents can enjoy the Christmas meal together. Our Christmas package will help care homes to not only create great dishes, but also provide some fun while they eat it.”
