Over the festive period, our residents came together to reminisce, chat and share their favourite winter recipes, the ones filled with memories of family kitchens, special occasions and cosy seasonal traditions. ❄️✨

From well-loved dinners to comforting treats, each recipe was lovingly turned into a keepsake recipe card, then placed inside Christmas cards and shared with our staff, families and visitors as a small festive gift.

Did you enjoy receiving one and perhaps tried the recipe out? We’d love to hear your experience. And do you have a favourite winter recipe or tradition? Please feel free to share in the comments below 🤍
