Kitchen Comforts

They say the kitchen is the heart of the home – even more so when you’re cooking hundreds of meals every day for Parklands’ discerning residents. Old favourite mince and tatties is on the menu at Innis Mhor in Tain as cook Fiona Ross prepares lunch, while over in Buckie Paul Buxton and his team are busy preparing meals for not one, but five local care homes. Food plays a hugely important role in the physical and mental well-being of residents, with many dishes bringing back happy memories of their childhood. “It’s traditional, but it’s what our residents grew up with as kids so it brings back the memories,” says Paul.
