About Seniors
Senior recipes focus on ease and comfort. They often use small portions, soft textures, simple steps and short prep. You will find soups, stews, baked fish, egg dishes, tender slow-cooked meats and gentle desserts.
They differ from One Person and Couples recipes by thinking about easy handling and chewing, as well as flavor. Herbs, lemon and spices can add taste without a lot of salt. If you follow a special diet, talk to your doctor or dietitian about what is right for you.
