00:02Everything is about packing flavour and goodness into every bite.
00:06Maggie Beer whipping up excitement in the kitchen.
00:10One of the joys of having Maggie here is she comes in with a little tip face.
00:13It's a privilege working with her. I saw her on TV or in videos or in training sessions.
00:21Her mission? To help chefs prepare better food.
00:24That is the most direct route to wellbeing and everyone should have beautiful food that's full of the right nutrient
00:32for their needs.
00:34She's convinced it will improve the health of elderly residents.
00:37It's all totally doable and accessible but you need skill and knowledge.
00:43This meal is made incorporating some traditional indigenous foods,
00:47which the chefs say is important when catering to a high proportion of Aboriginal aged care residents in Alice Springs.
00:54We have 90 to 95% people from First Nations, so we try to do food which is related to
01:06them.
01:06They use saltbush, they use some of the, they use a lemon myrtle, he does kangaroo tail.
01:12Along with native flavours, a focus on colour and texture to tempt the taste buds.
01:17They don't have big appetites, so you have to work quite hard at finding how to give enough nutrient and
01:27protein in the food.
01:29Culturally appropriate food packed full of goodness.
