As many people know I love cooking and developing new recipes as well as adapting others. I was pleased to be asked to develop some high calorie recipes.
Good nutrition is vital at any age but
for those who are older or need extra calories due to healing it is especially important.
A number of older people need extra
calories due to having difficulties with eating sufficient food for their
needs. Indeed some older people are assessed as having malnutrition with weight
loss, muscle weakness and feelings of apathy plus other health issues. Others
may suffer from various forms of dementia which can impact on both swallowing
and appetite for foods. Registered dietitians can give guidance about requirements
for individuals.
Foods need to be very appealing to eat
plus also calorie dense so that additional calories are supplied. The addition
of extra calories to foods is termed fortification or some call it
supplementation.
In general adding extra calories to
foods and dishes can be achieved by adding extra items such as cream, butter
and also Millac Gold.
Millac Gold is an easy to use ingredient
which allows it to be added to a range of foods.
These recipes provide a range of tasty
and appealing dishes which can be easily enjoyed and which provide those all
important extra calories. After all there is no point in providing extra
calories in a dish if it is not eaten.
The recipes are obviously a bit higher in fat so may need introducing slowly.
I have to say the sticky toffee pudding plus the sauce is the best ever. The sauce was so good I made heaps and then had to freeze it to stop me dipping into it.
The recipes plus a free carton of Millac Gold are available from
