In this episode of My Dementia Road Trip, I share how I adapt the traditional Sunday lunch for my mum, who lives with Alzheimer’s and has a very small appetite. From choosing the right meat to mastering nutrient-packed gravies, I walks you through practical ways to make every bite count — without overwhelming the plate.

You’ll learn:

• The go-to meat (and how to keep it moist and tender)
• How changing taste and texture preferences affect food choices in dementia
• Ways to pack in calories and nutrition with roast potatoes, sweet veg, and creamy desserts
• How to make homemade gravy into a nutrient powerhouse
• Tips for small portions with big flavor — and how to avoid common mealtime pitfalls

I also open up about the trial and error involved as we learn how to adapt in the kitchen, sharing real examples of what’s worked (and what hasn’t) in my kitchen.

Whether you’re a carer, family member, or just trying to support a loved one better at mealtimes, this episode is my honest guide full of simple but powerful food adaptations — all grounded in love, tradition, and nutritional care.
