Emeis launches memory-based cooking project for Alzheimer's Day
To mark World Alzheimer's Day, emeis has launched “La Cucina della Memoria” (The Kitchen of Memory), a project designed to engage residents through culinary activities. The initiative involves residents working alongside chefs and multidisciplinary teams to recreate significant dishes from their lives, such as handmade pasta and Baci di Dama.
The project resulted in a collection of approximately thirty recipes compiled by chefs from facilities across Italy. These recipes serve as more than just culinary instructions; they act as a repository for family stories, traditional gestures, and personal anecdotes, aiming to preserve the identity and heritage of the participants through the sensory experiences of taste and smell.
