Dundee care home Residents enjoy taste of the Mediterranean during Greek cooking classResidents at HC-One’s Balcarres care home in Dundee recently enjoyed a taste of the Mediterranean, as they took part in a Greek cooking class.

Colleagues at Balcarres put on a weekly cooking class for Residents, and this week was extra special, as Balcarres newest Resident Aphrodite, who is originally from Greece, was asked to take charge. 

On September 3rd, Afrodite was approached by Colleagues who asked how to make the perfect Greek salad. Afrodites face lit up and she couldn’t wait to show Colleagues how to make the perfect salad.

Afrodite used lettuce, tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, olive oil and some secret ingredients that make it her own.

Balcarres Deputy Manager Vera Scrimgeour said: “This is amazing and is bursting with flavour.”

Colleagues and Residents were all very interested to hear Afrodites stories from Greece when she was preparing the salad. She told stories from her mama teaching her lots of traditional recipes and promised to show everyone.
