With the summer season officially under way, a care home in Witney is welcoming the local community for a fun-filled afternoon of food and celebration.
On Friday 7th August from 3pm–5pm, Care UK’s Millers Grange will open its doors to families and neighbours for their ‘Taste of our Home’ event, inviting guests to tuck in and celebrate the nation’s shared love of great cuisine, community and connection.   Visitors to the Curbridge Road home can discover recipes that tell a story, viewing a cookbook that has been lovingly created by the residents themselves. The book brings together their favourite dishes, whether it’s meals they loved growing up, family recipes passed down through generations or comforting foods that bring back treasured memories.   While viewing the cookbook, guests can tuck into a delicious afternoon tea, prepared by the home’s head chef.   The event is part of the ‘A Taste of Home’ initiative, which will see Care UK homes across the country host foodie-themed celebrations and showcase what life in a care home is really like.   Each festival will offer sustainable, community-focused activities while championing the diversity and creativity within the homes, from residents’ favourite recipes to seasonal menus featuring locally sourced ingredients.   Rachel Scurr, Home Manager at Millers Grange, said: “We’re delighted to be showcasing our very own cookbook! It's been a real pleasure collecting the recipes from residents and their families ahead of the event.   “We are part of a strong community here in Witney, and days like this are a wonderful way of bringing people together to celebrate our love of food while giving residents the opportunity to share their favourite recipes and traditions with younger generations.   “The afternoon not only promises a lot of laughter, but it is also an excellent way for residents to meet and mingle with lots of new faces – and some familiar ones. We can’t wait to welcome everyone through the doors.”   To find out more about A Taste of Home, please visit careuk.com/a-taste-of-home.   Millers Grange is a modern care home that provides full-time residential and dementia care, as well as short-term respite care.
