“My grandchildren used to cheer!” Elderly people with dementia stimulate the brain and heart with a nostalgic cookbook full of apple recipes

Beignets, stewed apples, red cabbage with apple. A group of nursing home residents from Edegem have created ‘Our apple cookbook’, with all recipes from the past. The smells, tastes and actions stimulate the brain, even if it is hampered by dementia. We went for apple pie with Wiske (91), Justine (96), Hubert (95) and co, for a moment the kitchen prince(s) of the past.
