A New Forest care home has joined a national campaign to save traditional recipes from being forgotten.
A Care UK poll of 2,000 adults found that almost two-thirds of people no longer use family recipes that have been passed down through generations.
But 43% of those surveyed want to save them.
Hoping to continue spreading their recipes across the New Forest for years to come, Sway Place residents teamed up with the children of their team members to show them just how delicious their old favorites can be. I showed it.
We baked a traditional fruitcake popular in Yorkshire, also known as a ‘cut and come again cake’.
Betty, 93, from Yorkshire, said: “I was so happy to be able to relive those happy memories and so happy to be able to recreate the recipe and share it with my children.” .
Jane Baxter, general manager of Sway Place, said:
“Food plays an important role in all of our lives, no matter our age, and there’s something special about the senses’ ability to evoke happy memories and emotions. That’s why we continue to pass down old family recipes. Continue and share it with the younger generation.” It’s very important. ”
