Creative Menu Design and Cooking Techniques Workshop for Residential Care Homes for the Elderly 

​

With a focus on chefs and dietitians, Hong Kong Adventist Hospital is committed to offering enhanced menu design inspiration and cooking techniques to their counterparts in residential care homes for the elderly. The objective is to enable them to prepare easy-to-cook, delicious, and nutritionally balanced meals and soft foods that promote the well-being of the elderly, fostering a happier and healthier dining experience.

​

Additionally, the hospital's dietitians will provide crucial nutritional guidance and specific dietary recommendations to individual residential care homes for the elderly. This support extends to homes catering to patients with illnesses and cancer, ensuring their unique dietary needs are met.

 

Our aspiration for this event is to facilitate the gathering of chefs and nutritionists from diverse facilities, fostering an environment where they can collaborate, exchange ideas, and enhance their professional skills.
