Meal Planning and Preparation

Support to plan, shop for and prepare meals that actually suit the participant.

Meal Planning and Preparation

We accommodate texture-modified diets, allergies, cultural preferences and budgets.

What is included

  • Weekly meal planning
  • Shopping support
  • Cooking together or batch prep
  • Dietary and cultural adaptation

Who it is for
