May 17, 2023 —Kendal at Hanover recently celebrated the remarkable international diversity of residents and staff by hosting an event that featured the sharing of food from different cultures and traditions. On April 6, the culinary team assisted in hosting an international lunch, where residents and staff prepared dishes from their respective cultures for the community to share.
The diversity and variety of the dishes at the international lunch were truly amazing. German bread dumplings with mushroom gravy, Fried Rice, Russian Potato Salad, Beef Burgundy, English Trifle, Spanakopita, Chicken Curry and Satay were just a few of the dishes on display. Staff and residents were eager to show off their culinary skills and share the stories behind the dishes that were special to them. Learning about different cultures and trying new foods was an excellent opportunity.
