for the elderly and our industry got great exposure during this
event. IHHCsupported the event and we had our logo displayed on the
screens as well as thebanner on the stage and we received
acknowledgement for our participation. Sixchefs, all from member’s
facilities, completed on stage and presented theirvariations of a
chicken dish to showcase their passion and professional skills.
Simon Bryant (celebrity chef from the cook and the chef ABC TV
series)commented “that it was a tougher job tocook in aged care
facilities then the restaurant kitchens taking into consideration
the various challenges faced byaged care chefs on a daily basis
with legislation, likes and dislikes, special diets, modified food
etc.”
“Much loved Adelaide cook Maggie Beer launched a foundation to
improve food in aged care homes, promisingto fight for “a
generation who never complained”. The Maggie Beer Foundation (A
Good Food Life For All) willwork to “give beautiful food to people
without the ability to cook for themselves, to sustain them not
onlynutritionally but emotionally as well”. Ms Beer said during the
forum at the Tasting Australia Festival”. (Ref: TheAdvertiser

good number as we were in uncharted waters on this. The format was
well received witha buffet breakfast part of the agenda. We
commenced at 8.15am and concluded by 10.15am.
We had two speakers: Kathy Prain from the Accreditation Agency
and our own Ian Byron presenting on thesame topic but from 2
different angles - the assessors view and the facilities view -
very interesting.
