“A Taste of their Story” is a project that brings university students together with older people living in care homes. Many of these people don’t have close family or regular visitors and as a result, they often feel lonely. This kind of loneliness can seriously affect their mental health. We want to spend time with them, talk, and collect meaningful recipes,dishes they used to cook or that remind them of special moments. Along with each recipe, we’ll include the story behind it. Smell is the sense most closely linked to memory and taste helps make those memories stronger. Cooking and sharing these recipes is a way to bring back important moments and pass them on to others. At the end, we’ll create a simple recipe book, share this recipes online so it reaches more people and organize a cooking workshop where young people prepare a few of the dishes and hear the stories that go with them. The goal is to spend time with people who are often forgotten, listen to them, keep their memories alive through food and in general improve their mental well-being at the same time that young people learn from their stories.
