For older people good nutrition is essential to maintain optimum health. But so often the elderly and their carers find it difficult to create dishes that are both interesting and nutritionally well-balanced. It has been found that a number of elderly people are not eating the kind of food that they need resulting in under nourishment and, sometimes, malnutrition. 'Delicious and Nutritious' addresses the dietary needs of older people, in particular, while offering mouth-watering recipes that can also be served to all the family. All the recipes from traditional dishes like Welsh Lamb Cobbler and Toad in the Hole to more wide-ranging fare such as Lamb Biryani and Italian Bread Pudding are easy to follow and extremely tasty. The nutritional information given for each dish will be invaluable for individuals or carers who need to tailor a diet to particular health requirements - often vital for those in their later life. This book also recognises that some people will find some food difficult or indigestible, and soups and smoothies play a prominent role. Beautiful food photography and contemporary design make this an appealing book both for the elderly and for families.
